DEBKA 17:08
After taking several barrages of 100 rockets on Monday, Nov. 12, Israelis living less than 40km from the Gaza border were told to stay in fortified spaces until further notice as Hamas threatened to expand its rocket targets if Israeli air strikes hit large areas in the Gaza Strip in retaliation.
Rocket alerts were accordingly heard Monday evening in more distant parts of southern Israel, including the Dead, Sea region. Residents of towns up to 40km from Gaza, including Beersheba, Lachish and Kiryat Gath, were advised to stay within easy access to shelters.
The Israeli Air Force went into in action after Palestinians fired 100 rockets from Gaza, hitting three towns and injuring four Israelis on Monday afternoon They came after hitting an Israeli bus and scoring the first injured Israeli casualty. The bus was empty. As it burned, heavy salvos of at least 100 rockets were fired continuously from the Gaza Strip, many of them intercepted by Iron Domes. They came from all parts of Gaza, and were aimed at Sderot and the Eshkol and Hof Ashkelon councils. Rocket alerts were also heard in Beersheba, Kiryat Gat, Ofakim and Netivot Paramedics were delayed from evacuating the seriously injured Israeli man from the burning bus by continuous rocket fire.
Rockets landed inside three towns, Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim. Four people were injured. Firefighters battled blaze property and businesses as the rockets from Gaza continued to fall on the central and western Negev, many of the projectiles intercepted in the air by Iron Dome. There were many shock victims.

@ Steve Smyser:
I seem to have been hearng comments exactly like these for the past 10-12 years…..I know that I’VE been writing them,… although not all on this site only.
@ david melech: I was going to say something but took the words out of my mouth! And we delivered Hams millions of dollars, for what?
Level Gaza, then rebuild with only Jews there – thus, no terrorism, no missiles, no fire balloons, no terror tunnels etc etc. With only Jews there within a decade you would have all the following and more: Tourism business, nice beaches, palm trees, the Miami of the Med, new hotels, resorts, a casino or two, banks, schools, numerous businesses and jobs, condos, hospitals. All the things a civilized society would have. The Muslims could have done all this with the BILLIONS of $$$$ GIVEN to them over the past decades, but no, they prefer terrorist things. ENOUGH ALREADY. Need I say these sub-humans are at WAR with you, act accordingly. Cut out the Cancer.
this is damn bloody foolishness. either the gov. resighn and create a war coalition without nutunyahoo or the army take over as long as there is a gen. who will win for ISRAEL. no more fighting for a tie. the u n should be advised to have ships in the area to pick up the terror population as the only way out should be via sea. let them carry the sharon (dead included) clan with them.
remove all the trash from ISRAEL being the bloated u n. the e u trash in Hevron, hold abarse in jail for his own safety, 10-15 years would be good, only t v the chabad channel.
need a new broom for a clean sweep.
