Day 49 of Operation Protective Edge

PREAMBLE: The 49th day of Israel’s conflict with Hamas began with a major barrage of rocket fire — bringing the number of rockets fired into Israel during Sunday to more than 130.

Earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said the operation would not end until Israel is safe from rocket fire and other Hamas attacks, and warned that the conflict might run on into the new school year, which starts next week.
