Under onsdagen sköt Islamsk Jihad 220 raketer mot Israel från Gaza. Under natten har det varit lugnt, men nu på morgonen återupptogs raketbeskjutningen mot södra och centrala Israel.
I Israel förbereder man sig för att raketbeskjutningen kommer att fortsätta hela dagen. Det betyder bland annat att skolorna i de mest utsatta områdena kommer att håla stängt.
Israel har inte under natten utfört några attacker mot Gaza och de attacker som utfördes i går riktades mot mål som tillhörde Islamsk Jihad. Hamas verkar inte ha deltagit i raketbeskjutningen hittills och Israel försöker välja sina mål noggrant så att Hamas inte skall få orsak att delta i striderna.
