Gaza Terrorists Fire More Than 30 Rockets at Israel, IDF Responds

Earlier this evening, Gaza terrorists fired a salvo of 30 rockets at southern Israel. At least eight of the rockets hit urban areas.

The IDF responded to the rocket attack, hitting two terror locations in the northern and southern Gaza Strip with artillery fire.

In the late afternoon on Wednesday, “Code Red” sirens sounded in Israeli communities, where children were heading home from school. The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted three of the rockets.

Since the start of 2014, Gaza terrorists have fired more than 60 rockets at Israel. This is the largest attack on Israel since Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad is behind the rocket attack. However, Hamas is held responsible by Israel for all attacks emanating from the Gaza Strip.
