No injuries were reported due to direct hits or shrapnel in the barrage on Saturday night, although 10 people were injured while running to bomb shelters. Shortly after the barrage of rockets, the IDF began a wave of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, hitting over 150 targets, including the home and office of Hamas

The continued conflict between Israel and Hamas has been testing Joe Biden and further exposing the Democrats’ divide on Israel.
