Barrage of rockets from Gaza fired at Israel: Hamas claims responsibility



Militants in the Gaza Strip fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel late Monday, the military and media said, after overnight air strikes killed eight militants in the Palestinian enclave. A military spokesman said some 20 rockets were fired in just a few minutes, and that four incoming were destroyed by the Iron Dome anti-missile system. Media reports spoke of around 40 fired. There was no immediate word on casualties or damage in Israel.

The armed wing of the Islamist Hamas movement on Monday claimed responsibility for firing a barrage of rockets at southern Israel, a statement said.
