Israel Defense Forces have launched a series of airstrikes against alleged “terror targets” in Gaza in retaliation to rocket fire from the enclave on the southern Israeli city of Be’er Sheva.
The IDF said its attack early on Wednesday morning was triggered by overnight rocket fire from the Palestinian territory on what is Israel’s fourth most populous metropolitan area. Locals in Be’er Sheva scrambled to reach bomb shelters when sirens went off around 4:00am.
The projectile struck near a residential home, Israeli media report. The Israeli police said the rocket “caused damage”, without specifying the extent of the destruction. While no deaths have been reported, six people were allegedly treated for trauma by paramedics.
