From the police perspective, hundreds of phone calls were received at 911 of explosions heard in and around the vicinity of jerusalem. >> have there been any israeli casualties killed or injured in any of these rocket attacks? >> what i can confirm theres only been damage in a city to a large number of vehicles. what we should be looking at is the threat that the hamas want to fire into heavily populated areas where women and children now on holidays, camps and people out and around in the stree...

Kilometers north of the gaza strip. that is possibly the longest range missile that weve seen used out of gaza to date. we also had four rocket attacks over jerusalem. three of which we hear for the idf actually hit the city. but presumably not causing any actual damages. iron dome intercepted just under 30 of the more than 150 rockets, which the idf says has come out of israel today. so it has been extremely busy. hamas clearly making good on its promise that it would retaliate and retaliate ha...

But by and large, relatively quiet. now whats been interesting, wolf, is that a nearby mosque has been announcing these rocket attacks on tel aviv, haifa, jerusalem and other israeli cities. what they are leaving out of the story is that most of the rockets were stopped by israels iron dome, anti-ballistics system. and when these announcements are made, you dont hear much reaction in the street. in fact, what we were hearing was much more reaction from the houses in this area as people were watc...

In place it cease-fire as we did before. how do we influence hamas? can egypt play a role? jordani jordanians? >> listening to your interview, it strikes me that mission is to complete rockets and it sounds like they have a plan that may good on for a while to try to deplete that 10,000 number and maybe even get to the longer range. and if that the case, there may not be a short term cease-fire thats able to be put in place. the danger becomes, as i think, the ambassador pointed out, we have civ...

Whats the latest? >> reporter: hi, wolf. a few hours ago we had volleys of rockets going overhead past us. there must have been 15, 20 of them going north towards tel aviv. two rockets were intercepted by the iron defense system just south of tel aviv and over the city itself. also in jerusalem, the idf saying one rocket hit jerusalem. it is quite clear that hamas is stepping up its campaign, irrespective of air strikes all day along the gaza strip. we were standing over looking the strip. could...
