Terror groups fired one hundred and four rockets in Gaza towards Israel in about 24 hours. That’s 104 times that Israeli civilians in the south feared for their lives and had seven seconds to get their families into shelters. At least three people in Israel have been injured from the rockets, one critically, and countless others are being treated for shock.
In response to the dozens of rockets launched at Israel from Gaza, the IDF struck weapon manufacturing sites, military compounds, and underground terrorist tunnels belonging to terrorist organizations.
A ceasefire was reportedly reached between the IDF and Gaza terror groups in the early morning.
Egyptian, Qatari, and UN officials mediated the ceasefire; however, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said on Wednesday morning that “all options are still on the table.”
A Sderot resident whose home was hit by a rocket fired from Gaza said: “This is a huge miracle. The Israeli flag on my car stayed white while the rest was scorched. Thank God the kids quickly pulled themselves together.”
IDF says 104 rockets and mortars have been launched from the Gaza Strip over the past day. Bchasdei Hashem, the Iron Dome intercepted twenty-four, 48 landed in open areas, 14 fell short in Gaza, 11 landed in the sea, and seven unknown impact sites. Iron Dome had a 90% interception rate of rockets heading for populated areas.
May we hear Besuros Tovos.

This is not an Israeli home; it’s a Palestinian home in Gaza.
Hamas misfired 2 rockets that, instead of hitting Israel, hit Palestinian homes in Beit Hanoun in Gaza. Hamas injured 5 Palestinian civilians, including children. Where is the outrage? pic.twitter.com/bH7Z4xeEwY

Israeli civilians are being attacked by rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza. The silence of the @UN & Palestinian Pres. Abbas is deafening. Where is the condemnation? The hypocrisy is sickening. Israel will not stand idly by. We will defend our citizens. pic.twitter.com/T1irKL8MUK
