Israeli Forces Destroy Major Rocket Factory in Rafah
By Yoni Weiss
Israeli troops in Rafah’s Tel al-Sultan neighborhood have destroyed Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s largest underground rocket factory, the IDF announced Tuesday.
For several years, the Iran-backed terror group produced hundreds of rockets, including long-range rockets, at this facility.
Reports in 2022 estimated that Islamic Jihad had an arsenal of 8,000 rockets, comprising both locally-made rockets and Iranian-made Fajr 5 rockets with a range of 75 kilometers.

“The destruction of the outpost and the underground production site damages the Islamic Jihad’s ability to produce and fire rockets at Israeli civilians and communities,” the IDF stated.
