The thunderous explosions could be heard overnight. Israeli forces to stop a rocket attack from gaza into the southern cities of israel.

Just to give you a sense of the expanse of this conflict, according to the Israeli Defense forces, during the last five days, 546 rockets were fired from gaza into israel. And 302 were intercepted by the iron dome Defense Missile system. So what were seeing is a case of attacks from one side and then counterattack from the other, with neither one seemingly backing backing down.
