by CrownHeights.info

A large rocket barrage of at least fifteen rockets began to rain down on southern Israel, triggering Red Alerts in multiple communities, as well as the Iron Dome.

Red Alert sirens went off in Kibbutz Kissufim and Ashkelon amoung others, while multiple Iron Dome interceptions were reported over Ashkelon.

No injuries have yet been reported from the attack.

The home command has instructed to open all public shelters in Ashkelon and other southern city’s, and to cancel all public events.

Of note is that the rockets are being launched by Islamic Jihad not Hamas. Hamas seems ti be against an escalation as of right now.

Updated 11:30am: At least 21 projectiles fired by the PIJ from Gaza towards Israel, at least 10 intercepted. The remainder landed in open areas causing no damage or injuries.
