According to IDF Spokesperson figures published in the media, since the beginning of Operation Protective Shield, Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups have launched over 800 rockets and mortar shells into Israeli territory. Figures released by Israeli medical emergency services provider Magen David Adom indicate that during the first six days of the operation, 13 Israelis were injured by shrapnel, debris from buildings that had been hit, or fires that were the result of rocket landings. According to estimates, without Israel’s advanced air defense system, the number of casualties and the scope of the damage would have been greater.
