Hamas launched one barrage of rockets after another into southern
Israel throughout Tuesday, destroying a number of residential
buildings and a school in Ashkelon.
Two women were killed and dozens injured. These were the first
Israeli fatalities in the current round of fighting.
Israel's "Iron Dome" anti-missile system knocked down a number of the
rockets, though not all. According to reports, there was a temporary
malfunction in the Iron Dome.
Israel retaliated with hundreds of air strikes. According to
Palestinian officials, at least 28 people were killed, including 10
children.
Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:
On Monday, more than 300 Palestinians were injured at Al Aqsa Mosque
in clashes with Israeli police, who fired rubber bullets, stun
grenades and tear gas, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said. Police
said 21 officers were hurt.

pace of the attacks. ..
Hamas will be getting blows that it did not expect."
