Israel’s Iron Dome has intercepted multiple rockets fired from the Gaza Strip towards Southern Israel.
**UPDATE** The IDF says rockets were not fired towards Israel, rather the Iron Dome was activated due to heavy gunfire inside the Gaza Strip.

WOW: #IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said on a call with military reporters that there was NO rocket barrage towards southern #Israel. “All of the alarms were triggered by machine gun fire in #Gaza. There were no rockets which fell inside Israeli territory.”

Sorry, $100 million per Iron Dome BATTERY, each missile costs around $50,000. Still an expensive fuck up ahead of Land Day and RIGHT after the end of joint US-#Israel Juniper Cobra missile drill. SMH guys

Jerusalem Post reports:
Israel struck the Gaza Strip late Sunday night after at least a dozen rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip towards southern Israeli communities including the cities of Sderot and Ashkelon.
Incoming rockets sirens were heard in Hof Ashkelon and Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Councils with local residents uploading videos of several rockets being intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
Several Israelis were said to be treated for shock.
