The Israeli security establishment identified a rocket launch from central Gaza toward the sea on Tuesday morning, according to a Channel 14 report. The launch, which did not cross into Israeli territory, is the latest indication of Hamas's efforts to rehabilitate its military capabilities. Senior IDF intelligence officers warned last week that Hamas is producing hundreds of explosive devices and anti-tank missiles monthly and resuming training, as The Zioneer reported on June 29. No further details were immediately available.
