Israeli village adjacent to Gaza to be evacuated 

An Israeli village (Yishuv) located near the boundary with the Gaza Strip is set to be evacuated as the Israeli army threatens to widen its attacks against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement. 

According to Israeli broadcaster Kann, residents of the unnamed village will be removed tomorrow. 

Earlier today, Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz warned that the leadership of Islamic Jihad who "sit abroad in restaurants and hotels in Tehran, Syria and Lebanon" will also "pay the bill".

Gantz's comments came as a sustained barrage of rockets continued to be fired from Gaza into Israel. 

Around 400 projectiles have been fired so far, according to Israeli estimates, causing two minor injuries and some damage in the southern city of Ashkelon. Sirens warning of incoming rockets were heard in Ashkelon, Ashdod and Tel Aviv, among other areas.
