335 Gaza rockets fired since Tuesday, Israel

In a statement, the military said 53 rockets had been intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system. One of the rockets intercepted was fired at Modi'in settlement in Ramallah, the army said, noting that it left no injuries or damage. Eyewitnesses said that parts of the rocket fell on villages in western Ramallah. As sirens wailed in Jerusalem and settlements near Ramallah, hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets chanting in support of the resistance and Al-Qassam Brigades, the witnesses said. Violence flared up again on Tuesday between Israel and Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip following the collapse of indirect, Egypt-hosted talks aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire deal. Israel accuses Palestinian factions of violating a temporary ceasefire (which expired on midnight Tuesday) – a claim denied by resistance faction Hamas, which in turn accused the self-proclaimed Jewish state of attempting to derail the talks in Cairo.

Since hostilities began on July 7, at least 2086 Palestinians have been killed – the vast majority of them civilians – and more than 10,000 injured by Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip. Thousands of homes in Gaza, meanwhile, have been destroyed by relentless Israeli bombardments. Over the same period, at least 67 Israelis – 64 soldiers and three civilians – have been killed, according to Israeli figures.
