100 rockets fired at Israel so far today
Amid renewed talk of a ceasefire, almost 100 rockets have been fired into Israel so far today. There were four Iron Dome intercepts in the south, including over Sderot and Netivot, in the past two hours, Channel 2 reports.
It also quotes UN figures that put the Gaza death toll at 1,777 — of whom 1,242 are civilians. Channel 2’s Roni Daniel, by contrast, says the IDF believes “about half of the dead” are combatants.
