Smoke billowed over residential Israeli areas and people sheltered behind buildings as sirens sounded overhead. At least one woman was reported killed by the rockets.The barrage served as cover for an unprecedented multi-pronged infiltration of fighters, with the Israeli military saying at 7.40 a.m. that Palestinian gunmen had crossed into Israel.
One video showed at least six motorbikes with fighters crossing through a hole in a metal security barrier.FIGHTING AT ISRAELI MILITARY BASES Several captured Israeli military vehicles were later pictured being driven into Gaza and paraded there.Fighters raided the Israeli border town of Sderot and were reported to be in another border community, Be'eri, and the town of Ofakim 30km east of Gaza, according to Israeli media citing phone calls from residents.
