Gaza-Israel Conflict Escalates with Rockets and Air Strikes

Palestinian terrorists fired 104 projectiles from Gaza, including rockets, mortars, and shoulder-launched missiles, at Israel amid a daylong flare-up in violence. The Iron Dome air defense system intercepted 24 of the projectiles, marking a 90% interception rate of rockets heading for populated areas. The IDF struck 16 separate targets belonging to Islamic Jihad and Hamas terror groups across the Gaza Strip overnight. Israel and Gaza terror groups agreed to a ceasefire mediated by officials from Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations, early Wednesday morning.
