While details remain scarce, a security informant revealed that the rockets landed within the base's boundaries.

The exact number of victims or injured in the attack has not yet been officially confirmed.

This hostile act takes place in a context of escalating tensions in the already turbulent Middle East.

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has been marred by violence, with the shadow of war looming over the entire region.

Moreover, the removal of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran only adds fuel to the fire, prompting threats of revenge by Iranian authorities against Israel, a powerful reminder of the volatility gripping this troubled part of the world.
