Israel: Islamic Jihad militants fire 250 rockets and Israel responds with airstrikes on Palestinian territory
Palestinian militants launched about 250 rockets and mortars into southern Israel from Gaza on Saturday, and the Israeli military responded with airstrikes and tank fire against targets across the Palestinian territory, as tensions along the volatile border boiled over and a fragile cease-fire faltered again.
Four Palestinians — including one militant, another man, a pregnant woman and her young daughter — were killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday, according to Gaza Health Ministry officials. That brought the total number of Gazans fatally struck by Israeli fire since Friday to eight.
