Rockets and Air Strikes between Gaza and Israel

July has seen an upsurge in rocket attacks on Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip with one hitting Thursday and two the day before, sending residents scurrying for shelter. The rockets struck a house but caused no injuries. Israeli Air Force jets retaliated by bombing two tunnels they said were used by Hamas to smuggle in weapons from the Egyptian Sinai. Another tunnel used to infiltrate into Israel was also destroyed. After a relatively quiet period, 11 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel in the first half of July.
