As tensions between Israel and Palestine escalate towards all-out war, Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system is being pushed to the max. The sky over Tel Aviv was lit up last night with what looked like something out of a space opera.

INTERCEPTED:
Terrorists recently fired another barrage of rockets from Gaza toward the Israeli city of Ashkelon.

We intercepted the rockets with the Iron Dome Aerial Defense System, and are now striking Hamas terror targets. pic.twitter.com/5i87BRAgDn

One of the 100s of rockets that were just fired from Gaza toward Tel Aviv and central Israel exploded on a civilian bus.

Hamas’ intentions are clear: kill Israeli civilians.

We won’t stand by and let this happen. pic.twitter.com/aNsA3dlgMe
