01 · THE DISPATCH

Rocket-alert sirens sounded at 12:55 Jerusalem on Sunday in four communities along the Gaza border — Kfar Aza, Zimrat, Shuva, and Sa'ad — in the Sha'ar HaNegev and Sdot Negev regional councils. The alerts were triggered by incoming rocket/missile fire from the Gaza Strip, according to multiple alert channels. The Home Front Command issued the all-clear at 12:58, and no casualties or direct impacts were reported.

This incident follows similar rocket warnings in the broader Gaza envelope this month. On June 8, sirens sounded in Zikim and the Gaza border area, and on June 12, false-alarm sirens were triggered in Nahal Oz and Alumim after a false identification. The June 12 incident was declared a false alarm, while the present event appears to have involved actual launches, though details on the number or trajectory of projectiles remain unconfirmed by the military at this stage.
