Rockets fired into Israel from Gaza

 

(JNS.org) Five rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza on Sunday night, June 23, including two headed for Ashkelon which were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system and three which exploded in open areas, Israel Hayom reported. There were no reports of injuries or damage. These were the first Palestinian rockets fired from Gaza to hit Israel in 40 days. On Monday, the Israel Air Force retaliated by attacking two terrorist arms depots, a rocket-launching site, and another terrorist hub in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “There was rocket fire into our communities, and the response came immediately. My policy is to harm anyone who tries to harm us. No trickle, no accumulation.”
