“580 missiles have already been fired (on Israeli territory),” RIA Novosti quotes the words of a representative of the Israeli army.

It is noted that approximately 97% of the missiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.

Earlier it became known that the Israeli army attacked the Islamic Jihad tunnel.

On August 5, Israel announced Operation Dawn against Islamic Jihad.

A state of emergency has been declared along the 80-kilometer border between Israel and the enclave.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz ordered to continue to strike at the targets of the radical Palestinian movement "Islamic Jihad" in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said that Tel Aviv is not interested in prolonged hostilities in the Gaza Strip, but is not afraid of them.
