FEDERATION UPDATE ON THE ESCALATING TENSIONS IN ISRAEL

Heavy rocket barrages slammed into southern Israel on Monday evening, triggering air raid sirens across wide areas, including Rehovot and Beit Shemesh. Some 30 rockets were fired from Gaza in the Monday night barrage, and a total of 80 rockets slammed into southern Israel throughout the day and evening.

The rockets do not discriminate. Since the barrage began, rockets have destroyed a nursery school, factories, farms, cars and homes. Precautionary measures have necessitated the closing or relocation of some summer camps, daycare centres and the cessation of work by farmers near the border. Fortunately, the Iron Dome defense system is reported to have an 85% success rate against incoming rockets. MORE
