  • Story Text: Rockets and missiles from Gaza killed three civilians in Israel while Israeli strikes killed 12 Palestinians, most of them militants, in surging cross-border fighting on Sunday (May 5), according to Gazan officials and the Israeli military.
    Israel's military said more than 600 rockets and other projectiles - over 150 of them intercepted by its Iron Dome anti-missile system - have been fired at southern Israeli cities and villages since Friday (May 3). It said it attacked more than 260 targets belonging to Gaza militant groups.
    The sounds of sirens and explosions reverberated on both sides of the frontier, fraying nerves and keeping schools closed.
    Gaza officials said Israeli air strikes and artillery fire killed 20 people including eight civilians since Friday (May 3).
