The Israel Defense Forces says that as of 8 a.m., Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip have launched 1,099 rockets and mortars at Israel since the beginning of Operation Shield and Arrow on Tuesday.
The IDF says 865 of the projectiles crossed the border, while 202 — around one in four — fell short in Gaza.
Air defense systems intercepted 340 of the rockets. Several have landed within towns, killing one and injuring several others, as well as causing extensive damage.
The rest landed in open areas without causing damage, according to the IDF.
The military says it has carried out strikes against 325 sites belonging to Islamic Jihad.
