Contrary to false reports by media outlets, the teen was not injured due to an Israeli air strike in the area. The Israeli Air Force did not operate in the northern Gaza in the hours of the incident or any adjacent time. All IAF activity concerning the Gaza is publicly visible and clearly documented.
COGAT representatives coordinated the evacuation with representatives of the Israeli Health Ministry and the Red Cross in Gaza
In the recent escalation that began on Friday, March 9, Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza fired more than 200 rockets into Israel. Many of these rockets struck major Israeli population centers, such as Ashdod (pop. 200,000), Beersheba (pop. 190,000), and Ashkelon (pop. 110,000). More than one million Israelis continue to live under the threat of rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled Gaza.
