The report added that the Palestinian resistance fighters have fired some 650 missile and rockets toward Israeli cities in retaliation to Tel Aviv's deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military is now planning to deploy more Iron Dome systems to intercept Palestinian missiles and rockets.

The report said that a number of missiles fired from Gaza landed in open areas of southern Israeli city of Be'er Sheva.

    Israel’s Channel 2 also said that air raid sirens went off in settlements across Negev Desert, including its largest city Be’er Sheva.


Israeli cities of Eshkol, Ashkelon and Sderot also were also targeted by Palestinian rockets and missiles on Saturday.

Also a missile was fired toward the Israeli capital, Tel Aviv on Saturday morning. So far, three Israelis have been killed in the attacks.

In fresh Israeli attacks on Gaza, Hamas government headquarters in Gaza City and a refugee camp in Jebaliya have been targeted.

11 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in Israeli attacks on the village of Jebaliya in northern Gaza, southern cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah and the central district of Mughazi. Five were killed in Rafah.

The death toll from Israel's continuous attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip has climbed to 41 since Wednesday.

Israel has called up about 75,000 army reservists amid reports of a possible ground incursion into the coastal enclave.
