Palestinian mortar fire Monday evening, July 28, killed 4 Israels in the Eshkol District and injured six others, four seriously.
In Gaza City, there are first reports of a huge explosion at Hamas’ command and control headquarters which is located in a bunker near the Shifa hospital. The entire block at the heart of the city is wreathed in black smoke. Sources in Gaza report 10 fatalities and 50 people injured. The IDF does not confirm an attack on the hospital compound. DEBKAfile’s military sources report the suspicion that Hamas attempted to launch one of its Iranian Fajr-5 missiles at Tel Aviv. It went off prematurely in a playground in the hospital compound and may have also triggered an explosion in an ammunition store.
