JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say Hamas militants in Gaza have launched the heaviest shelling in more than two years on Israeli border communities.
A Gaza Health Ministry official said Israel’s subsequent airstrikes killed a member of Hamas and injured two others.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman says he will file a complaint at the U.N. after Saturday’s unusually large barrage of rockets.
Israeli police said more than 50 mortar shells hit the border communities. Two civilians were lightly injured. Police said it was the heaviest Palestinian shelling since fierce fighting between Israel and Hamas in 2008.
