Over 130 rockets fired from Gaza in 24 hours
In the span of 24 hours since the temporary truce between Israel and Hamas collapsed, 137 rockets have been launched at Israel, IDF spokesman Peter Lerner says.
Lerner says 24 were intercepted by the Iron Dome system while the rest fell in Israeli territory, including one that struck a house in the Hof Ashkelon area.
