Some 400 rockets have been indiscriminately fired from Gaza<\/a> into Israel in the past 24 hours. At least one elderly man was killed in his Ashkelon apartment<\/a> by one of the missiles, more than 19 were injured by the rocket fire and an additional 31 people were treated for shock at Barzilai Medical Center<\/a>, and there has been extensive damage to homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n These attacks\u00a0follow a day in July when approximately 200 rockets were fired<\/a>, the more than 50 rockets and mortars<\/a> fired into Southern Israel in May, and ongoing riots at the Gaza border<\/a>.<\/p>\n The latest round of rockets is the largest barrage since the 2014 war and seems to have been triggered by an IDF intelligence mission gone awry in Gaza<\/a>, in which seven terrorists and an Israeli commando were killed<\/a>. The IDF has responded to the Hamas rockets by targeting at least 70 sites in Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n
