Just minutes after commemorations began to mark the anniversary of Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel, several projectiles were fired from the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli army. “After sirens sounded at 6:31 a.m. in several communities near the Gaza Strip, four projectiles were identified as coming from the southern Gaza Strip,” the army said on Monday. Three of the projectiles were intercepted by the Air Force.
A dropped projectile was also discovered in an open area. The armed wing of Hamas immediately claimed responsibility for the shelling. The Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters fired projectiles at “enemy concentrations” at the Rafah and Kerem Shalom border crossings and at Kibbutz Holiz near the Gaza border.
At 6:29 a.m., the commemoration of the brutal attack by Hamas exactly one year ago opened in Israel with a minute’s silence at Kibbutz Reim. At exactly this time, hundreds of fighters from Hamas and allied Islamist groups had entered southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli figures, a total of 1,205 people, mostly civilians, were killed in several towns, at a music festival and as hostages in the Gaza Strip. Of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas, 97 are currently still being held in the Gaza Strip.
