One killed as 370 rockets launched from Gaza hit Israel's south

The Israeli army is reinforcing Armored Corps and infantry units near the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, its spokesperson said. The Israel Air Force struck over a hundred Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets on Monday overnight, including a munitions warehouse, weapons factory and a military compound and Hamas' Public Security offices, said the spokesperson.

Hamas' military wing spokesman said Monday that Be'er Sheva and Ashdod would be targeted next if "Israel persisted in its aggression."

The Israel Defense Forces said the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted around 100 out of some 370 launches from Gaza. Most of the rockets exploded in open areas. Rocket sirens sounded in southern Israeli communities throughout the late afternoon and evening on Monday, including in Be'er Sheva and Ashkelon, and near the Dead Sea, and continued on Tuesday.
