Later on Saturday, the Israeli military reported intercepting two rockets launched from northern Gaza, highlighting the capability of Palestinian factions to fire into Israel despite a sustained 13-month aerial and ground offensive. The campaign has devastated much of the Gaza Strip, displacing most of its 2.3 million residents.
Palestinian health officials stated that at least 30 people were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza on Saturday. According to the Gaza health ministry, the conflict has claimed at least 43,799 Palestinian lives since October 7, 2023.
