Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have fired more than 11,500 rockets towards Israeli territory since Hamas launched the war with its Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 people.
More than 9,000 Israelis have been injured since the cross-border invasion, during which some 240 hostages were kidnapped to Gaza.
Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel from the humanitarian zone in the southern Gaza Strip near displaced civilians and a United Nations facility.
On Sunday, the IDF announced that Hezbollah had fired a rocket just 20 meters from a United Nations compound in Southern Lebanon.
In doing so, Hezbollah endangered the lives of UNIFIL soldiers and continued to systematically violate U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which bans the Iranian-backed terror group from operating within 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) of the border with Israel.
