"Five rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza after sirens sounded in the Eshkol region adjacent to the southern Gaza Strip at about 12:40 a.m.," said Israel Defense Forces.
This attack ends the small period of stillness across both side of the border-Israel- after days of escalation.
Israel and Gaza are at loggerheads since the latter's rocket fell in Tel Aviv last week.
Retaliating immediately, Israeli Air Force struck Hamas target throughout Gaza. Despite Hamas repeated clarifications that the rocket fell accidentally, Isreal launched multiple strikes towards Gaza. Furthermore, Egypt also tried to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. However, the talks failed and Israel continued to attack.
