BREAKING: A barrage of seven rockets was fired by Muslim terrorists in Gaza toward southern Israel. Six of the rockets were successfully intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. One rocket hit a home in Sderot.

Code Red rocket alert sirens sounded in Sderot, Ibim and Nir Am at 2:30 am.

MDA first responders were treating a 52-year-old woman who fell while running to a bomb shelter. Three other people were treated for shock near the impact in Sderot.

“In the 3rd rocket attack of the night, terrorists in Gaza launched 7 rockets at civilians in southern Israel. 6 of the 7 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome mid-air. In response, we struck Hamas military targets in Gaza, including underground terror infrastructure,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit tweeted.

Code Red rocket alert sirens sounded in Kissufim and Ein Hashlosha at 11:30 pm. The Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted the three rockets.

Simultaneously, Israeli fighter jets are bombing Hamas terror targets in Gaza in response to hundreds of explosive devices and firebombs attached to balloons launched by Muslim terrorists toward southern Israel.

In response to the rockets, IDF fighter jets targeted a compound belonging to the Hamas terror group, which included a site for the production of rockets.

Following the strikes, additional rockets were fired by Muslim terrorists toward southern Israel at 2:30 am.

“A strike for a strike,” Muslim jihadists from Saif Al-Islam terror group threatened.

Earlier, two rockets fired by Muslim terrorists from Gaza toward southern Israel fell short and exploded inside Gaza.

“We just identified two rockets from Gaza toward Israel, which exploded in the vicinity of the security fence,” the IDF said.

At least 44 fires broke out today in southern Israel due to firebombs and explosive devices attached to balloons, launched by Muslim terrorists from Gaza into Israel.
