The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Retaliation rockets fired from Gaza toward Israel amid tensions” – below is their description.
Israel launched limited airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Friday in response to a series of rocket attacks from the Palestinian enclave, the day after a major Israeli raid in the West Bank killed nine Palestinians.
The Israel Defence Forces [IDF] said it struck an underground rocket factory run by Hamas, the Islamist group that controls Gaza, after a small number of rockets were launched at Israel.
Air raid sirens sounded in Israeli communities near the Gaza border in the early hours of Friday morning after three rockets were fired, but there were no reports of any injuries.
One rocket fell short of the border, another landed in an open area and a third was intercepted by Israeli air defences, an IDF spokesman said.
The restrained exchange of fire suggests that neither side wishes to escalate the conflict further at this stage, though Thursday’s deadly raid in Jenin refugee camp has left the Holy Land on edge.
