LIVE Ashkelon In South Israel Faces Rocket Fire As Hamas Responds To Israel's Latest Attacks On Gaza

As Israel bombards Gaza, a significant rocket barrage has been launched in response from the Gaza Strip toward Tel Aviv, the western part of Ramallah, Ashkelon, and Ashdod, all happening simultaneously with the ongoing Israeli bombardment. Israel knocked out the internet and communications in Gaza in an escalated bombardment during Friday night, creating a near-blackout of information. The Israeli military said it was “expanding” ground operations in the territory, in an announcement signalling it was moving closer to an all-out invasion of Gaza. The Israel-Hamas war erupted on 7 October after Hamas militants stormed across the Gaza border, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and taking at least 229 people hostage. #ashkelon #israel #palestine #gazaborder #gaza #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
