Following up the Gazan rocket attack that destroyed a factory in Sderot, the Israel Air Force (IAF) hit 3 terror sites in Gaza, hitting concealed rocket launchers.

Additional rockets were launched just after 11 PM.

The army may be preparing a larger scale Gaza operation.

Unfortunately, no one in the government has decided yet to simply shut off the electricity which Israel continues to supply to Gaza even while they shoot rockets at us.

On Friday night, 6 rockets were launched at Israel from Gaza.

Iron Dome took down 2 of them, while the other 4 landed in open areas in the Eshkol region.

A mortar was also fired near the border fence.

No one was injured in any of those attacks.

In response to the Friday attacks, the IAF hit weapons manufacturing and terror facilities in Gaza.

Here is a video of those strikes:

On Saturday evening, a rocket launched from Gaza hit a paint factory in Sderot’s industrial zone, causing a massive fire.

The paint storage containers inside the building exploded.

The factory was burnt to the ground.

There are 10 firefighter crews fighting the fire, and firefighters have been called in from Ashkelon and Be’er Sheva to help the Sderot fire department put the fire out, which is still blazing.

Four people who were inside the factory were rescued or managed to escape, and firefighters are checking to see if anyone else is trapped inside.

According to MDA, one man was lightly burned on his hands, a second suffered minor injuries to his body, and a third has a leg injury. All were taken to Barzilai hospital.

A second rocket landed in an open area outside the city.

A Gazan Rocket hit a factory in Sderot, causing a massive fire.

An explosive device was detonated along the border with southern Gaza, lightly damaging an IDF military vehicle. No injuries were reported.

IDF tanks fired into Gaza in response, towards areas known to be used as terrorist lookouts.

Numerous rockets were launched at Israel from Gaza over the past week.

Gazan terrorists fired five rockets during the early evening hours yesterday (Jun. 24) at southern Israel, sending tens of thousands of civilians running into bomb shelters in the highly populated Ashkelon area. Two of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-rocket system. No injuries or damage were reported.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) retaliated by attacking seven terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including five hidden launching pads. An IDF spokesman announced that the IDF holds Hamas responsible for all terror activity emanating from the Gaza Strip, and will continue to operate with decisiveness to protect the State of Israel.

A three-year-old girl from Gaza was killed after a rocket fired at Israel failed to hit its target and landed on her home in Gaza, this according to Palestinian medical sources. Four members of the girl’s family were injured after the rocket landed on their house in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The four were evacuated to a hospital.

For more than a week, Gazan terrorists have continuously fired rockets at Israel. Over 20 rockets have been fired at Israel since the beginning of Operation ‘Brother’s Keeper’ to find the three abducted boys Eyal Yifrach, Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Frenkel. Over 200 have been fired since the beginning of the 2014. Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, terrorists have fired more than 8,000 rockets into Israel. Over 3.5 million Israelis are currently living under threat of rocket attacks.

“We have repeatedly addressed the consequences facing those who seek to endanger the lives of innocent civilians,” IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner recently said in response to the attacks. “Iron Dome’s success does not change the absurd fact that Israelis have been living under continuous rocket threat for multiple years. We shall persist with our determination to combat terror elements and eliminate the pending threat to Israeli lives.”

Rocket sirens sounded in Ashkelon at 1 PM Friday afternoon. But the rocket launched from Gaza fell short, and landed within Gaza.

At around 10 PM on Thursday, the Iron Dome system took out a rocket launched at Ashkelon.

Typically, the system only fires if there is a reasonable chance the rocket will strike an inhabited area.
