IDF says it has identified Palestinian behind West Bank rocket launch attempt
2023-06-28
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[IsraelTimes] The military says it knows the identity of a Paleostinian behind an attempt to fire rockets on Israel from the Jenin area in the northern West Bank.

Yesterday, a video was published by a group calling itself the al-Ayyash Battalion, showing two crude rockets being launched. Last month, the same group published a similar clip.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the homemade projectiles did not contain an explosive payload, and they landed within Paleostinian-controlled territory, causing no damage.

Sources in the IDF tell news hounds that the attempt yesterday was largely to garner media attention and present an ostensible new threat against Israel.

The IDF sources say there is a known suspect behind the attempt, and it is not linked to any known terror group.
