A video has been circulating on social media that captures the terror that Israelis endure when Hamas launches rockets at them.
The video shows a Hamas rocket in the air that explodes, and then proceeds to show the chaos of Israeli children screaming and attempting to be herded into a bomb shelter:
Video from Israel today. It shows dozens of children desperately trying to get into a bomb shelter in 5-15 secs as Hamas launches rockets from Gaza. One lands in the street right next to them. Two ppl are hurt. Where is the outrage for this attempted murder of civilians? pic.twitter.com/6iHvhZraAe

According to the Times of Israel, Hamas launched eight rockets at Israel; two of them struck the town of Sderot – where the video was taken – causing severe damages to numerous vehicles, a home and an apartment building.
Three Israelis were also injured from the strikes, none of which are believed to be serious. Two pregnant women went into premature labor as a result of the rockets and eight other Israelis were taken to the hospital to be treated for anxiety attacks.
There was more:
In the last 5 hours, approximately 70 rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel. The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted 11 launches, the majority of the rockets hit open areas.

Additionally, terrorists from the Gaza Strip ignited at least 11 fires throughout southern Israel that had to be extinguished by Israeli firefighters.
The rockets and arson attacks came a day after Hamas announced they would seek revenge for the Israeli military reportedly killing two Hamas snipers.
