i24 News – A Telegram group named the Al-Ayyash Battalion, affiliated with the Az ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, linked to Hamas, posted a video on Monday of an attempted launch of two Qassam-1 rockets from the northern West Bank city of Jenin.
A sign next to the rocket launcher read: “Al-Ayyash Battalion: Firing towards settlements, from Jenin in the Jezreel Valley using Qassam-1 rockets. Monday, June 26, 2023. The West Bank protects Jerusalem.”
After thoroughly examining the incident, the Israeli security services reported that it no longer posed a threat to Israeli cities. This is the second such launch attempt in two months.
Earlier in May, videos of a rocket launch towards the northern West Bank settlement of Shaked were broadcasted from the village of Nazlat, not far from Jenin. After searches by Israeli forces, the launcher was located, along with the remains of a rocket that still contained explosive material.
During Operation “Shield and Arrow,” Shin Bet Internal Security Service chief Ronen Bar revealed that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives who planned to launch rockets from the Jenin area had been arrested.
