Violence continued to escalate at the Gaza border this morning as two more rockets and ten mortar shells were fired by Hamas terrorists into residential areas in the south of Israel, in Beersheva and Ashdod.

A 56-year-old man was injured in one attack, while three others were treated by doctors following the blasts.

The barrage of the last week has been the worst since the war in Gaza two years ago.

Israel yesterday responded to the increased violence with an airstrike on Hamas sites, which left eight terrorists and civilians dead.
