Israeli Killed Outside Tel Aviv as Over 800 Rockets Fired From Gaza
As of mid-evening local time the IDF has recorded 803 rockets and mortars launched over the past 2 days from the Gaza Strip. At least 28 Palestinians have been killed, many of them civilians.
The first Israeli citizen has been killed: “One person has been killed when a rocket fired from Gaza struck a city near Tel Aviv, an Israeli emergency official tells Army Radio,” per Al Jazeera.
“A spokesperson for Israel’s medical services said a rocket struck a four-storey apartment building in Rehovot, leading to a death and at least five injuries.”
The EU and other international bodies are calling for an immediate ceasefire, but there are currently no signs either side is backing down, also as Israel continues to pummel Gaza with airstrikes.
