Palestinian armed group Hamas reportedly fired rockets at Israeli civilians, the Israeli military claimed on the 7th (local time).

According to local daily Times of Israel and others, the Israeli military posted this information along with maps on their social media X account on the same day. The Israeli military stated, "At 3:59 PM the previous day, Hamas terrorists fired 12 rockets at civilians in Beersheba, southern Israel," adding, "The rockets were launched near a refugee tent camp and a UN facility in Rafah, the southernmost city of the Gaza Strip."

The Israeli military also said that at 12:52 PM the previous day, rockets were fired from a 'humanitarian zone' where relief activities were taking place, noting, "The rockets were mistakenly launched and threatened civilians in the Gaza Strip."

The Israeli military reported intense clashes with Hamas in the southern largest city Khan Yunis, where urban warfare intensified from the previous day. They added that the special forces unit 'Dudevan' (Cherry), leading the urban combat, killed two Hamas operatives who emerged from underground tunnels in southern Khan Yunis, and the navy supported ground forces through bombardment.
