Joint IDF ground troops operating in northern Gaza on Wednesday morning (Sept 5) uncovered four Kassam rockets ready for launch, in a civilian industrial zone near Beit Hanoun, adjacent to a cow shed.

"The squad which launched the rockets laid four platforms to launch missiles, which were found adjacent to the cowshed. They used these to fire the rockets into Israeli settlerments, at Sderot, and the surrounding area," said Captain Za’afarni, a company commander in the Golani Brigade force which took part in the operation.

Seven more Kassam launchers were uncovered later in the day.
