Former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Tuesday that “Palestinian organizations will pay a heavy price for rocket attacks on the south.”
Earlier today, our correspondent reported that the Israeli army activated the Iron Dome system after a salvo of rockets from the Gaza Strip towards neighboring settlements.
According to Israeli media reports, the rocket hit a house in the village of Sderot, where Jewish Channel 14 reported that the total number of people injured as a result of rocket attacks from Gaza is 6 people, one of whom is in serious condition.
The same sources reported that about 20 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip.
Israeli authorities opened shelters in the Beer Sheva area, and warning sirens sounded in areas bordering the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army asked the residents of the settlements to stay near shelters and fortified areas and avoid crowds in open areas.
Later, the United Hall of Gaza Resistance Factions issued a statement saying, “Mourning the martyred warrior (Khader Adnan), he declares his responsibility for destroying the so-called raped settlements around the Gaza Strip with rocket attacks this evening,” noting that “this is a preliminary response to this heinous crime, which will provoke a reaction from our people in all arenas and battlefields.”
