Rockets Fired into Israel after Israel Assassinated Islamic Jihad Leader

Linda Gradstein

   JERUSALEM - Militant group Islamic Jihad fired more than 150 rockets
   into Israel after Israel assassinated a senior Islamic Jihad official.
   Palestinian hospital officials said at least five people died in
   several Israeli strikes. Israeli officials say they are braced for
   several days of fighting.
   The wailing of sirens warning of incoming rocket attacks was heard
   throughout southern Israel next to Gaza, and even in Israel's largest
   city, Tel Aviv. The government decided to close all schools and work
   places from Tel Aviv southwards, for the first time since the 2014 war
   between Israel and Hamas.
