Forty-five rockets and mortars have been launched at Israel from Gaza since midnight Saturday, with most landing in open terrain and two intercepted by the Iron Dome system, according to the latest IDF figures.
Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge early Tuesday, 564 rockets and mortars have struck Israeli territory with an additional 140 shot done by Iron Dome.
In Gaza, the IAF says 108 Hamas and Islamic Jihad sites have been struck so far today, bringing the total of targets hits since the start of the operation to just over 1,200.
According to Palestinian sources, 127 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza since the start of the military campaign, with 22 deaths today, including two nephews of former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
