The Israeli military has ordered Palestinians in a neighbourhood in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya to evacuate after it said rockets were launched from the area at the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon last night, Al Jazeera reports.

The military’s spokesperson released a map marking the area which has been designated in “blocks”, adding that “the specified area has been warned many times in the past” and it is now “considered a dangerous combat zone”.

The military had earlier said that one of the rockets was intercepted and another fell into the sea.
