    Take a look at our Iron Dome in action. Hamas fired a barrage of rockets into central & southern Israel tonight. With our Iron Dome Aerial Defense System operators in action, these systems help keep Israel's skies safe.

    After threatening to fire rockets at Tel Aviv, Hamas has fired a heavy barrage of rockets from Gaza into central & southern Israel. Men, women, children, and the elderly are currently in shelters, protecting themselves from rockets aimed at them.

    A short while ago, a Palestinian vehicle broke through a military checkpoint and attempted to run over IDF soldiers southwest of Hebron. An IDF soldier at the scene operated to stop the vehicle according to standard procedures by firing toward it.

    Hamas announced that it will fire rockets at Tel Aviv at midnight. The threat to target a city—to terrorize a population—is itself a violation of international law. If Hamas carries out its threat, it will be violating international law again by targeting civilians.

    Put yourself in this father's shoes. You're driving with your newborn baby. Suddenly, you find yourself under rocket fire. As rockets explode, your only thought is: keep your baby safe. The IDF will continue to fight against Hamas to protect Israeli civilians.

    We just thwarted an attempt by Hamas terrorists to launch a drone armed with explosives from Gaza City at Israel. The drone fell on the launch squad and killed two Hamas operatives.

    After providing advance warning to civilians & time to evacuate, IDF fighter jets struck a multi-story building containing Hamas military intelligence assets. The building contained civilian media offices, which Hamas hides behind and deliberately uses as human shields.

    5/ We'll say it again: When Hamas places military assets inside such a building, it becomes a lawful military target. This is clear international law.

    4/ We called the building's residents and warned them to leave. We sent SMS messages. We dropped "roof knocker" bombs; they make loud noises and hit only the roof. We provided sufficient time to evacuate.

    3/ The Israel Defense Forces struck a number of such buildings in recent days, but before we did so, we took steps to try and ensure that civilians would not be harmed.

    1/ Hamas has turned residential areas in the Gaza Strip into military strongholds. It uses tall buildings in Gaza for multiple military purposes such as intelligence gathering, planning attacks, command and control, and communications.

    RAW FOOTAGE: This is the scene in a neighbourhood in Ramat Gan after a rocket from Gaza struck the area. We will not let this terror go unanswered.
