update: The major Saturday morning flare-up between Gazan militants and Israel, which began with 100 Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets launched in under the span of an hour Saturday morning looks to turn into a potentially prolonged conflict. This followed the death of two Hamas members and at least one Palestinian civilian on Friday as tensions along the Gaza border fence came to a breaking point.

The IDF and local media now say the militants have fired nearly 300 rockets into Israel during sustained fire on Saturday. Israelis have entered bomb shelters throughout southern and central Israel, with sirens blaring and the Iron Dome defense system active throughout the day and into the evening.

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Israel appeared to be on the verge of a prolonged escalation of its conflict with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad after close to 300 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards southern Israeli communities on Saturday, striking several homes and leaving one elderly woman severely wounded by shrapnel.

Palestinian militants launched over 90 rockets into Israel within the span of merely an hour early Saturday following following a tit-for-tat series of escalations that began with Gaza border incidents on Friday, including two Palestinians shot by Israeli soldiers during protests.

According to early reports, there have been no casualties in Israel following the intense volley, and on the Gaza side one person has died as a result of Israeli Air Force retaliatory strikes with three others wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

There are some unconfirmed reports of injuries on the Israeli side, including injuries of Israeli civilians after a rocket reportedly impacted a school in a town called Kiryat Gat. The IDF confirmed its Iron Dome defensive measures were active throughout the morning.

More fuel to continue do the RTR, for every innocent gentile who suffers because of those disgusting long-nosed parasites.

Loool I’d love a video of that, i’d watch it with popcorn.

400 rockets and how many victims? This is a joke... no wonder the juice are so sure of themselves. Their adversaries are a bad joke.
