The Israel Defense Forces says that as of 2:30 p.m., Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip have launched 547 rockets and mortars at Israel.
The IDF says at least 394 of the projectiles crossed the border, while 124 fell short in Gaza.
According to the IDF, air defense systems — the Iron Dome plus the medium-range David’s Sling — intercepted 175 of the rockets, marking a 95 percent interception rate of projectiles heading for populated areas, while a handful landed in urban areas, causing damage.
The rest landed in open areas without causing damage, according to the IDF.
The military says it has carried out strikes against 166 sites belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
