- description: The IAF struck Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning, the seventh airstrike carried out overnight in response to ongoing rocket attacks on Israel. Hamas claimed responsibility for the latest escalation from the Strip, which saw 11 rockets fired since nightfall and more than 50 over the last two days. Nearly all the rockets fell in the area closest to the Gaza strip, but a Grad Rocket that fell in an open field south of Beersheba suggests that a further escalation may be imminent. Palestinian sources said Israeli strikes targeted two military installations and that one person was injured. The IDF has instructed residents of the Eshkol and Hof Ashkelon Regional Councils to remain near sheltered areas in anticipation of continued fire, but schools remain open. Following the attacks, the IDF has decided to deploy 4 Iron Dome batteries next to Beer Sheva, Ashkelon, Ashdod and Netivot.
