Israel was under massive rocket fire.

The Israeli army confirmed the activation of an air raid in the southern regions of the country, including Ashkelon and Lachish, as well as in Sderot and surrounding areas located near the Gaza Strip. Eyewitnesses report the operation of the air defense system (air defense) and the audible siren.

According to information received from the Al Jazeera TV channel, the Palestinian armed forces carried out rocket attacks on Israel twice from positions in the Gaza Strip. At the moment, it is known that about 170 rockets were fired into Israel, which caused severe panic among the local population.

This incident continues a series of recent attacks and rocket attacks between Palestinian factions based in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli military.

In response to the attack, Israel launched strikes on the territory of the Gaza Strip, as a result of which several bases of Palestinian militants were destroyed, as well as, according to preliminary data, three commanders.
