Over 570 rockets from Gaza in past 5 days

More than 570 missiles have been launched from Gaza into Israeli territory since Hamas broke the latest ceasefire on August 19, five days ago, the Foreign Ministry says.

Many of these have been launched from “various civilian facilities exploited by Hamas terrorists,” the ministry says in a press release.

“In the course of Operation Protective Edge, the IDF has revealed the systematic abuse of these facilities and registered more than 260 rockets that were launched from schools, more than 50 rockets from medical facilities and more than 130 rockets from cemeteries,” the report states.

The report, viewable here in English, contains more information and infographics regarding the Foreign Ministry’s reports.
