(VIDEO AND PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE)

Initial reports spoke of 30 rockets fired from Gaza towards Israel, but when the night ended and the damaged tallied, it was realized that number rose to 45 rockets fired. Seven of the rockets were intercepted by the Iran Dome system. Three rockets landed in Gaza, falling short of their intended targets.

Shortly after midnight the Israel Air Force announced it targeted three Hamas facilities in Gaza in retaliation for the rocket fire. Shorty thereafter the Red Alert sirens were heard throughout Gaza border communities. Shortly thereafter, the IAF struck another 8 Hamas facilities.

Hi, how was your night?

In #Israel, over 1,000,000 people were forced to seek shelter, after #Hamas fired over 45 rockets & mortars from #Gaza.

Does that sound like a ‘peaceful protest’?
