Bang! Bang!! That is the sound you  hear with the destruction of rocket launchers located in the Gaza Strip. Israel says their destruction was a reponse to a barrage of rockets fired at Southern Israel by militants.

Earlier a shipment of medicine for Israeli hostages and Palestinian civilians entered the Gaza Strip under a deal mediated by Qatar and France. The agreement marks the first significant progress in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas since December, when a short-lived ceasefire collapsed.
