Israel And Hamas Exchange Intense Fire Along The Gaza Border

CNN: Israelis and Palestinians exchange fire along Gaza border

Jerusalem (CNN)Militants in Gaza have fired more than 65 projectiles since early Saturday toward Israel, prompting a series of raids against targets in Gaza by Israeli fighter jets, Israel Defense Forces said.

The projectiles are a combination of mortar shells and rockets, according to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. About 10 of the launches were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome aerial defense system, the Israeli military said. No injuries were reported.

In response to the launches, Israeli fighter jets targeted dozens of military sites in four Hamas military compounds in Gaza, including two Hamas tunnels, weapon depots, training facilities and command centers, the Israeli military said. Conricus said it was the largest daytime air assault on Gaza since the 2014 war.

Hamas accused Israel of instigating the latest round of violence.
