JERUSALEM (JTA) ā Two rockets fired from Gaza that were aimed at the southern Israeli city of Sderot were intercepted by Israelās Iron Dome missile defense system Sunday, and Israelās Air Force responded with airstrikes on Hamas military targets in Gaza.
The targets included a military compound used to store rocket ammunition, in Israelās second overnight attack on Gaza amid an escalation of tensions this week. Earlier on Saturday night, Israel bombed Hamas targets in Gaza in retaliation for incendiary balloons sent over the border that ignited at least 19 fires, some that burned agricultural fields.
It was the fifth night in a row that the Israeli military struck Hamas targets in Gaza in response to the balloons after at least 100 fires were sparked in southern Israel over the last week. Hamas said two Palestinian children were injured in the airstrikes on Friday night.
Also on Saturday night, about 800 Palestinian protesters massed on the Gaza border, some throwing explosives at Israeli soldiers. Some of the soldiers responded with live gunfire.
