More than 150 rockets were fired by Gaza militants toward Israel within a few hours this morning, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Two Israelis have been wounded, according to Israel's emergency response service.
The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted dozens of the incoming rockets, the IDF added.Two Israelis have been wounded, including an 80-year old woman in the city of Kiryat Gat, about twenty miles from Gaza, injured by shrapnel to her head and legs, according to Israel's emergency response service, Magen David Adom.
The announcement came from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories . The fishing zone was restricted to 6 nautical miles earlier this week following a rocket fired from Gaza that landed off the coast of Israel.There was no specific date for when the crossings and the fishing zone would reopen.Saturday's rocket barrage comes less than a day after two militants from Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, were killed in an Israeli strike on Hamas posts in Gaza.
