Israel’s Iron Dome intercepts Hama’s rockets from Gaza Strip

Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted some of Hama’s rockets from the Gaza Strip on Saturday evening (7 October), following their unprecedented surprise early morning attack, igniting a day of violence.

In an assault of startling breadth, Hamas gunmen rolled into as many as 22 locations outside the Gaza Strip, including towns and other communities as far as 15 miles (24 kilometres) from the Gaza border.

Israel’s national rescue service said at least 100 people were killed and hundreds wounded, making it the deadliest attack in Israel in years.

At least 198 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed and at least 1,610 wounded in Israel’s retaliation, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
