The IDF has just posted video of the Iron Dome doing it’s job and destroying lots of Hamas rockets that were fired today at the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon:

I never get tired of watching the Iron Dome do its job. Seriously, it’s so badass.
If you’re wondering about the imagery, what you see in the video is the Iron Dome missiles. You can’t see the rockets, but their system can and every time you see an explosion it intercepted one.
Here’s another video of the same explosions I believe:

The IDF also officially reported that they’ve begun hitting targets in Gaza in retaliation for the rocket fire:

After terrorists in Gaza fired a barrage of rockets at central and southern Israel over the past few hours, we just struck 3 Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
We hold the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza accountable for this serious aggression against us.
