WATCH: Palestinian Terrorist Rocket Hits Tel Aviv Apartment Building

Palestinian terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv and central Israel on Friday, causing at least one direct hit on an apartment building.

Red alerts were sounded, warning people to retreat to bomb shelters or reinforced “safe rooms” within their homes. Those on the road (as above) left their vehicles and took cover.

The Iron Dome missile defense system took out most of the rockets, but at least one made it through the protective shield:

As Breitbart News noted, a rocket hit an apartment building in Rishon LeZion, near Tel Aviv, earlier in the week.

The IDF also said (via the Times of Israel) that it had conducted a second limited incursion into Gaza overnight, following a first incursion on Wednesday night designed to remove anti-tank defenses in anticipation of a bigger ground invasion.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE: The IDF conducted strikes on Hamas terrorist targets over the last 24 hours.

IDF ground troops, fighter jets and UAVs struck:
