Tel Aviv/Gaza (dpa) - Tensions were high along the Israeli-Gaza border on Saturday after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Palestinian militants fired 36 rockets overnight, prompting retaliatory strikes.
Israel’s Iron Dome defence system intercepted six of the rockets, the IDF reported, while other rockets were said to have fallen short of Israeli territory.
The IDF said it responded by hitting Hamas military sites in Gaza, including underground infrastructure and rocket launchers. Hamas security officials and witnesses told dpa severe damage was inflicted on the targets, which were spread out across the Gaza Strip. Earlier the IDF said Israeli families had taken cover in bomb shelters as rockets were fired towards southern Israel from Gaza. (dpa)
