Hundreds Of Missiles Rain Down On Israel, IDF Retaliates

According to Israeli officials, Hamas militants and their allies have fired over 200 missiles into Israel in the last two days. In Friday's barrage, a mortar shell allegedly launched from within the vicinity of a UNRWA building, hit a farming village in southern Israel, killing a 4-year-old boy. The Israeli Prime Minister vowed "a heavy price would be paid."

Large numbers of residents of southern Israeli communities near the Gaza border were seen leaving their homes Saturday and heading for safer areas following the death of the boy in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.

The Israeli Defense Minister told southern residents to be ready for a prolonged campaign against Hamas militants.

On Saturday alone, over 100 missiles fired from Gaza sent millions of residents running for shelter through-out the Jewish state. Typically, civilians have 15-60 seconds to reach a shelter when an air-raid siren goes off.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a 12-story apartment tower in downtown Gaza City on Saturday. The building collapsed sending a huge fireball into the sky and wounding at least 22 people. Saturday's strike marked the first time an entire high-rise was toppled.

Gaza police say Israeli aircraft fired a warning missile at the roof of the tower at dusk, followed five minutes later by two missiles with explosives. The latest barrage this week by Hamas followed a breakdown of Egyptian-brokered cease-fire talks.
