The Jenin-based "Ayyash Brigade" fired a missile toward northern Israel on Thursday.

Posting a video clip of the launch online, the brigade said that this is a "response to the crimes of this malevolent enemy against our people."

The IDF later confirmed that fragments on the rocket were found, and that the projectile had exploded in the air, on the way to the community of Ram On in the north. 

The launch also comes as the far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was filmed performing ritual at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in violation of the status-quo and drawing ire from Arab countries. 

"Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line that we will not allow to be crossed," the brigades added.
