The Red Alert incoming rocket warning siren sent hundreds of thousands of Israelis racing for cover across southern Israel, disrupting celebrations on the fourth night of Chanukah.

It’s not yet clear who launched the rocket, but Israel holds Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist organization responsible for all activities that emanate from the enclave.
