Israeli media outlets reported on Thursday that alarm sirens sounded in the settlement of Sderot following the launch of rockets from Gaza.
According to the “Times of Israel,” three rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip toward the city of Sderot.
The report added that one rocket fell within the boundaries of Sderot, while the other two landed outside the area. There have been no reports of damage or injuries as a result of the rocket fire.
Notably, the European Union, on Thursday, urged Israel to reconsider its plan to expand settlements in the West Bank, labeling it an illegal move that threatens the two-state solution.
In a statement, the European Union condemned Israel’s decision to construct 3,426 new settlement units in the West Bank, pointing out that such actions are in direct conflict with ongoing efforts to reduce tensions in the region.
Furthermore, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced today that Sweden has initiated a meeting with representatives from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, several EU member states, and other countries to emphasize the urgent need to improve humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.
The Prime Minister, in his official account on the “X” platform, stated: “The lives and health of children in Gaza must be protected.”
