Hamas Fires Rocket Barrage at Israel Prior to Truce
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Rocket sirens were sounded in Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Kiryat Malachi at 11:45 p.m. on Sunday. The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted two rockets over Ashdod and an additional rocket landed in an open area. An additional rocket fired at Tel Aviv fell in an open area. Hamas refused to extend the previous truce, which expired Friday morning, and resumed firing rockets and mortars. The IDF responded by hitting dozens of terrorist targets in Gaza. Israel, one government official said, was going into this truce well aware of with whom it was dealing, and of how Hamas and Islamic Jihad had broken numerous cease-fires over the last month.
