(TPS) Residents of the Gaza Belt region scrambled for protected rooms overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday as Gaza Strip Palestinians fired at least 13 rockets at civilian targets in Israel in response to one IAF attack on a group that was trying to launch an arson kite at Israel, and another on two Hamas observation posts in the northern Gaza Strip. A car belonging to a Hamas commander in the Nuseirat refugee camp was destroyed.
Ten rockets were downed by the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system, and three fell in open areas. No injuries or property damage were reported.
According to Palestinian reports, no one in Gaza was injured in the attack.
The exchange of fire was the latest in an ongoing border skirmish that began at the end of March, when Hamas announced a series of “March of Return” demonstrations ahead of Israel’s 70th anniversary celebrations in mid-May.
