IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says that in the past day, a fifth of rockets launched by Palestinian terror groups in Gaza have fallen short in the Strip.

“More than 550 rockets launched by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have failed, killing innocent civilians in Gaza. They are killing their own civilians,” Hagari says.
