Year after Hamas attack, no end to Israel's wrath on Gaza
Hamas' smaller ally Islamic Jihad said it hit Sderot, Nir Am and other Israeli towns near Gaza with rockets. The Israeli military said it intercepted five rockets fired from Gaza. Hamas-led militants stormed through Israeli towns and kibbutz villages near the border on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
