IDF Confirms: Missiles Towards Tel Aviv Launched from Humanitarian Route

On Tuesday, August 13, the Hamas terrorist organization launched rockets from Gaza towards central Israel. Following the launches, the IDF reported that one rocket landed in the Mediterranean Sea and the other landed within Gaza. 

Hamas claimed that the rockets were of the M-90 model, a new model that was unveiled in December 2023 and has a reported range of 90 kilometers. 

On Wednesday morning, the IDF confirmed that these rockets were launched from the humanitarian route in Khan Yunis. 

Shortly after the launch, the IAF struck terror targets in the area from which the rockets were launched. The strikes were carried out adjacent to the launch site, outside of the humanitarian route. 

The IDF stressed: “The Hamas terrorist organization continues to deliberately embed its military assets used to carry out attacks against Israel next to humanitarian infrastructure and the civilian population inside the Gaza Strip.” (INN / VFI News)

“Dear God, we pray for the Israeli civilians all over Israel, that You would protect them from the rocket attacks and provide shelter for them in times of need. We also lift up the innocent civilians in Gaza who are being used as human shields by Hamas. We pray in Yeshua’s name that You protect them from harm, provide for their physical needs, and guide them to turn to You. We pray for an end to the war and we ask that You guide our defense forces every day into efficiently eliminating terrorists, retrieving our hostages, and minimizing the loss of human lives.”
