IDF officials believe that three rockets fired from Gaza at Kibbutz Kfar Aza near the Israeli border, in broad daylight on Friday, may have been launched to disturb a ceremony marking what would have been the 24th birthday of an IDF soldier killed in 2014 and whose remains Hamas refuses to release.

The video clip begins with a song in honor of the fallen soldier, Oron Shaul, and just after the song finishes, two and half minutes into the clip, a loudspeaker announces a red alert for incoming missiles, two of which were intercepted by “Iron Dome,” while a third damaged an empty building.
