‘Heavy barrage of rockets’: IDF says 90 missiles launched from Gaza, dozens intercepted








A “heavy barrage” of rockets has been launched at the territory of southern Israel, the country’s defense forces (IDF) said in a tweet, claiming the projectiles were fired from Gaza.





Warning sirens blared in Israeli border communities on Saturday morning amid reports of multiple projectiles being launched from Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the attack lasted for 10 minutes.




Residents in the towns of Ashkelon and Ashdod reported hearing blasts in the area. Meanwhile, several rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome above Ashkelon, the Jerusalem Post reported, citing local authorities. The IDF also posted footage apparently showing the “incoming” missiles.
