DAWN INFILTRATION
The barrage served as cowl for an unprecedented multi-pronged infiltration of fighters, with the Israeli army saying at 7.40am that Palestinian gunmen had crossed into Israel.
Most fighters crossed by way of breaches in land safety obstacles separating Gaza and Israel. However no less than one was filmed crossing on a powered parachute whereas a motorboat was filmed heading to Zikim, an Israeli coastal city and army base.
Movies issued by Hamas confirmed fighters breaching the safety fences, with the dim mild and low solar suggesting it was at across the time of the rocket barrage.
One video confirmed no less than six motorbikes with fighters crossing by way of a gap in a metallic safety barrier.

FIGHTING AT ISRAELI MILITARY BASES
Israel’s army stated at 10am that Palestinian fighters had penetrated no less than three army installations across the frontier – the Erez border crossing, the Zikim base and the Gaza division headquarters at Reim. It stated preventing at Erez and Zikim continued.
Hamas movies confirmed fighters operating in direction of a burning constructing close to a excessive concrete wall with a watchtower and fighters apparently overrunning a part of an Israeli army facility and taking pictures from behind a wall.
