IDF uncovers old, loaded rocket launcher in Northern Gaza

The IDF says that troops operating in Northern Gaza uncovered a loaded rocket launcher “ready to fire” toward Israel, during ongoing efforts to dismantle terror infrastructure in the area.

According to the military, combat teams from the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade located the launcher during a weapons-search operation in the Beit Hanoun area, near the so-called Yellow Line. The launcher was found loaded with five rockets.

A security source noted that the launcher is likely an old one and is expected to be destroyed by troops in the coming hours.

The military says forces remain deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire framework and will continue acting to remove any immediate threats.
