Gaza terrorists launched rocket attacks against Israel about an hour after midnight on Thursday night into Friday morning. Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted the rockets that were heading to populated areas.

The attack came as Israeli fighter pilots were bombarding multiple terrorist positions in the enclave in retaliation for a barrage of rocket fire launched at southern Israel on Wednesday night, while Jewish residents were sitting at seder celebrating the first night of the Passover holiday.

The Red Alert incoming rocket siren was triggered in the southern border towns of Karmia and Netiv Ha’Asara, sending residents racing to their bomb shelters.

A few minutes later, a second and then a third Red Alert siren was triggered in the Jewish communities of Ibim and Nir Am, as well as in the city of Sderot and the Ashkelon Coast.

Many southern Israeli residents had already resolved to spend the night in their safe spaces in anticipation of a possible rocket attack.
