Gaza Launches Rockets After Israel Kills Islamic Jihad Leader▼

Militants in the Gaza Strip fired dozens of rockets into southern and central Israel Tuesday morning. In response, Israel ordered all schools and "non-essential businesses" located within roughly 50 miles of its border with Gaza to close. That includes Tel Aviv. Schools and businesses in the city haven't been forced to close  since the 2014 Gaza War . The Israel Defense Forces  said its Iron Dome  missile-defense system intercepted at least 20 rockets. Multiple people were injured by rocket fire, including an 8-year-old girl who is reportedly  in critical condition . The rocket fire came shortly after Israeli forces killed a senior Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza earlier in the day. Israel's Foreign Ministry  described Baha Abu Al-Ata  as "a ticking bomb" who'd been preparing to launch more terror attacks against Israeli citizens. Additional reporting from  Newsy affiliate CNN .
