Hamas-affiliated group claims it fired rocket from Jenin

The al-Ayyash Brigades, a group which claims to be affiliated with Hamas, claimed that it fired a rocket from Jenin toward Shaked on Thursday afternoon. Israeli authorities had not reported any such incident as of Thursday afternoon.

A video published by the group of the alleged launch appears to show the rocket falling sideways off of the launcher shortly after being ignited.

The group has claimed several times that it has fired rockets from Jenin in the past year, although every one of the rockets fell apart either before launching or shortly after being launched.
