New Wave Of Gaza-Israel Rocket Fire After Death Of Palestinian Hunger Striker
A terrorist group in Gaza fired 22 rockets into southern Israel, in an initial barrage.
After the news broke of Khader Adnan Mohammed Musa's death, the rockets continued to fly between Israel and Gaza. He was a Palestinian prisoner of 45 years who led the Islamic Jihad. Air raid sirens were activated in southern Israel by projectiles fired from Gaza. Anti-air defence systems intercepted four of the projectiles. Israel responded with tank fire and more strikes are likely to follow. Video shows an impact of a rocket in Sderot
