Images of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system hitting missiles fired from the Gaza Strip appeared on the internet. Some published videos show that the Israeli missile defense system is quite effective in hitting Palestinian missiles. However, it should be noted that many rockets fired from the Gaza Strip reached their targets.It is reported that there were explosions, especially in areas close to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest cities. Many parts of these cities are in flames. According to Palestinian sources, more than 5,000 rockets were fired into Israeli territory. Israeli officials have not made an official statement about the number of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
Hamas members infiltrated the country’s territory
Israeli media says that many armed militants belonging to the Palestinian organization Hamas have managed to infiltrate the country’s territory. The images reflected on social media already confirm this. In connection with the attack by Palestinian forces, Israel decided to mobilize its reserve soldiers.
It should be noted that the epicenter of the events was the Israeli city of Sderot, where the Palestinians managed to capture at least one police station and almost completely occupy the settlement. As a result of rocket attacks against Israel from the Gaza Strip, more than a hundred people were injured and at least six people died, according to local hospitals. Health institutions continue to treat the injured.
People living in border areas began to leave their homes en masse. Meanwhile, Palestinians who crossed the border reportedly managed to destroy many Israeli military vehicles, including the Merkava IV, one of the most protected tanks in the world, which was not exported due to the secret technology used in its construction.
