Iron Dome batteries deployed in central, south Israel amid Gaza tensions

The IDF placed Iron Dome anti-missile batteries across the southern and central Dan regions in Israel Sunday evening, amid escalating tensions that have beset the Gaza border throughout the weekend.

 

Over 100 rockets and mortar shells have been launched at Israel since Saturday, with 20 of them intercepted by the Iron Dome system and 73 falling in open areas.

 

Earlier in the day, several fires broke out in the Gaza border region due to incendiary balloons being flown from the strip into Israel. One of the fires ignited a hummus field in the Sdot Negev Regional Council.

 

The fires have been extinguished.
