Direct proof of use
Romach/ACCULAR-122 use in the 2023 Israel-Hamas War is directly documented in IDF-attributed Israeli reporting. The Jerusalem Post reported that the new Lahav launcher became operational at the outbreak of the war and first fired on October 10, 2023, launching a guided Romach rocket; the same account said Lahav troops then fired numerous rockets against Gaza targets for about a month and a half.
A separate Times of Israel liveblog entry reported an IDF announcement that an M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System fired a long-range Romah missile at a Hamas military site in the Gaza Strip. JFeed, summarizing the Artillery Corps after the first 50 days of fighting, reported that rocket battalions fired more than 200 precision rockets at dozens of targets using MLRS launchers and identified the rockets as AccuLAR-122.

Timeline
The first dated Romach event in the public record is October 10, 2023. According to the IDF-linked Jerusalem Post account, an artillery company moved south on October 8 after the Hamas-led attack and fired Lahav for the first time two days later with a guided Romach rocket.
On October 11, 2023, The Times of Israel reported another IDF-attributed firing, this time from an M270 MLRS against a Hamas military site in Gaza. By late November 2023, the Artillery Corps summary reported more than 200 AccuLAR-122 precision rockets fired from MLRS launchers at dozens of targets during the first 50 days of fighting.

Operational role
In the Gaza theater, Romach/ACCULAR-122 appears as an Israeli precision rocket-artillery munition used for fire-support and strike missions against Hamas or Gaza target sets. The sources identify Israeli artillery forces as the user, with Battalion 334 of the 282nd Fire Brigade named in related Lahav reporting and the 334th Artillery Battalion of the 282nd Regiment named in the M270 report.
The direct-use sources describe two launcher contexts. Lahav/PULS provided a wheeled modular launcher that fired guided Romach rockets at the start of its wartime service, while the older tracked M270 MLRS was also reported firing a Romah missile during the opening days of the war. Army Recognition, citing Israeli reporting, described more than a hundred Romah rockets fired from Lahav toward dozens of Gaza targets.

System context
Romach, also transliterated Romah or Romakh, is the Israeli service name used in reporting for the 122 mm ACCULAR guided artillery rocket. Elbit Systems describes ACCULAR as a guided artillery rocket for ground-force support, with autonomous all-weather operation, a range up to 40 km, and accuracy of less than 10 m CEP.
That manufacturer material supports the weapon-family and performance context, while the conflict-use claim rests on the Gaza-specific reporting. The public sources reviewed here support Israeli firing of Romach/ACCULAR-122 rockets in the 2023 Israel-Hamas War; they do not independently establish a complete target list, battle-damage assessment, or all launch locations.
