"As of 19:00 from the beginning of Operation Wall Guards, more than 2 thousand rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel," the press service of the Israeli army quotes RIA Novosti.

It is noted that about 350 missiles fell in the Gaza Strip, and about 1,000 missiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.

Earlier, Israeli aircraft struck a multi-storey building in the north of the Gaza Strip, which housed one of the branches of Hamas Bank.
