Terror groups in the Gaza Strip launched a barrage of rockets towards southern Israel. Videos posted online captured the moment when the Iron Dome defense system intercepted the rockets over Ashkelon.

Initial reports and video footage suggested that two rockets were fired, with the IDF later confirming that number as well as that both had been intercepted by the Iron Dome.

B’chasdei Hashem, no injuries have been reported though.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are likely to respond to this attack. This marks the first rocket attack towards Israel under the rule of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu new government.
