World Israel News:
The IDF on Thursday deployed several Iron Dome anti-missile batteries along Israel’s border with Gaza, following a military assessment. The defense ministry reported last week that Palestinian terrorists in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip fired 289 rockets and mortar shells into Israel.
According to Ha’aretz, “this is more than any recent year – including the period in 2014 that preceded Operation Protective Edge that began on July 8 of that year.”
“The IDF is prepared for several scenarios and ready to defend the citizens of the State of Israel and its sovereignty,” the IDF said in a statement.
Since the start of the Hamas-led “March of Return” on March 30, tensions have heightened dramatically.
