Palestinian group tries to fire rocket from northern West Bank at nearby settlement

[IsraelTimes] Israeli forces discover projectile that failed to launch, following claims by al-Ayyash Battalion
Paleostinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch a homemade rocket at a nearby Israeli settlement on Tuesday morning, the latest in a series of mostly unsuccessful attempts.
A group calling itself the al-Ayyash Battalion — apparently named for a notorious Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", bombmaker killed by Israel — said it had launched the rocket from the Jenin area at the West Bank settlement of Shaked.
A video published by the group on the Telegram messaging service showed a projectile mounted on a launcher. The clip did not show the launch.
Israeli forces reached the scene and discovered the projectile still on the launcher, apparently after it went kaboom! and failed to launch. The rocket was seen heavily damaged, and the ground underneath it was charred.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said sappers were inspecting the remains of the rocket, which would be later handed over to the Shin Bet security agency for further investigation.
"IDF soldiers are pursuing suspects," the military added.
Al-Ayyash Battalion has claimed to have launched several rockets at settlements and towns in northern Israel in recent months, publishing footage of the attempts.
The group’s rocket launching attempts have largely failed, with the rockets containing no explosives and flying mostly distances of less than 100 meters (328 feet), according to the IDF. Though on July 9, security forces found the remains of a rocket in the Israeli town of Ram-On, close to the West Bank security barrier, indicating that bandidos Lions of Islam in the Jenin area possess the capability to launch rockets for further distances than initially assessed.
Military sources have said there was a known suspect behind the attempts, not linked to any known terror group despite the apparent affiliation with Hamas.
During a major IDF raid in the West Bank city of Jenin in July, the military said troops located and seized a makeshift rocket, among other weapons.
In May, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar said security forces had foiled attempts by Paleostinians in the northern West Bank to manufacture rockets to be launched at Israel. Bar said the efforts were led by a senior Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.
