Ceasefire Continues Despite Misfired Rocket and Israeli Response

Palestinians from Gaza launched a rocket towards southern Israel today, Sunday, following the initiation of a ceasefire mediated by Egypt. Palestinian factions stated that the launch was due to a technical error. Explosions were heard in northern Gaza, and Palestinians indicated that Israel struck a military site. Sirens sounded shortly before sunset in several Israeli cities near the border, prompting residents to flee to shelters. The Israeli army stated that "one rocket was launched from Gaza but landed in an empty area." A source from the joint operations room of the Palestinian factions in Gaza noted that the rocket was launched due to a technical error.
