A rocket fired from Gaza killed an Israeli civilian on Sunday, May 5, and two gunmen from a terrorist group were killed in an Israeli strike as cross-border hostilities ran into their third day.

Air-raid sirens sent Israelis in the country’s south, near Gaza, running to their shelters through the night as interceptor missiles blew up rockets in the sky. Israeli police said one of the rockets launched from Gaza hit a house in the city of Ashkelon, killing one man.
