Hamas today launched a barrage of rockets at the port city of Ashkelon – hours after the terrorists warned Israeli civilians living there to leave before 5pm or die in response to the airstrikes aimed at the Gaza strip.
A series of rockets were fired at the city in southern Israel just after 5pm local time (3pm UK time), with residents being urged to shelter from the onslaught.
Air raid sirens were heard across the city, with footage showing frantic parents picking up their young children before sprinting into an airport to take cover from the rocket attack.
