Trying not to worry, but we leave on Tuesday for a holiday in Israel.
They are referring to Fajr 5 rockets that can reach that far.. According to official reports, most of these were destroyed preemptively yesterday, though some are left.
As far as I know the firing you refer to landed in the ocean. I seriously doubt they will be able to fire these much at all, and surely not by the time you arrive here. If needed, a ground operation will start beforehand IMO and prevent such an option.
