Iran Press/Middle East: In response to an Israeli airstrike on Saturday morning on farmland in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza strip which resulted in the martyrdom of at least three Palestinians, resistance groups in Gaza fired dozens of rockets into Israel, as hostilities flared across the border for a second day.
The Israeli military also targeted eastern Khan Younis in the Gaza strip.
According to Israel's army, sirens warning of incoming projectiles sounded several times in southern Israel. Israeli media reported that several rockets were fired at Zionist settlements in the Gaza strip on Saturday morning, and Israel's anti-missile defense system, known as 'the Iron Dome' was attacked by incoming missiles at least twice on Saturday.
On Friday Israeli helicopters bombarded central Gaza strip, martyring four Palestinians and injuring three others.
