The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted rockets over the greater Tel Aviv area on Sunday afternoon at around 4:30 p.m.
At around the same time, rocket sirens sounded in Hadera, Zichron Yaakov, Binyamina, and other locations.
In the far north, on the Lebanese border, sirens sounded in the town of Nahariya. The IDF was checking if rockets fell in the area.
Earlier in the morning on Sunday, a fresh slew of rockets were fired from Gaza at southern Israelas the IDF alerted tens of thousands of residents in northern Gaza to vacate the area by noon ahead of more intensive IAF attacks on rocket launchers and commanders there.
"This is a place that fires significantly more rockets than other areas. We plan to increase our attacks," an army source said. People were still leaving the Beit Lahiya area and the IDF had yet to launch the promised attacks an hour after the deadline had passed Sunday.

Maybe if the terrorist org., Hamas would quit firing rockets into Israel, there won't be Palestinian casualties?

(14,851 posts)Hamas is to blame for almost all the tragic Palestinian deaths by hiding their weapons and rockets amongst their most vulnerable.
I agree with you it's horrific and must be stopped. Palestinians are literally dying because of Hamas.

Better yet, quit firing rockets into Israel and the killing will stop.
