JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Happening now, the fighting is intensifying between Israel and militants in Gaza. Israeli fighter jets responded to an overnight rocket attack by pound Hamas targets in Gaza. Phil Black live in Jerusalem with the very latest, Phil give us an update.</s>PHIL BLACK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: John, so, it was another night of weapons being fired into and out of Gaza. A small number of rockets were fired from Gaza toward Israeli territory. They either fell harmlessly or were shot from the sky and as you touched on Israel bombed two military targets connected to the militant group Hamas there. Even before this in the previous 24 hours Israel said it had unleashed, the greatest fire power against Hamas targets since Israel and Hamas fought a war and that was back in 2014. Israel is also boosting the number of troops, tanks, and other armored vehicles along its border with Gaza. Now this major escalation all started Monday morning when a single rocket was fired from Gaza and it flew a long way into central Israel; where it struck a family home injuring seven people including children. And Israel says Hamas was responsible for that. There is important political context here; there are Parliamentary elections in two weeks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting to stay in power and security as always is the number one political issue. So he must now walk a delicate line showing that he is in control of security. Punishing Hamas, defending Israeli lives but at the same time not taking steps that could see this develop very quickly into a more intense conflict.

Now, to 2020 one 2020 candidate is going to be very happy with his mid-week grade, Chris Cillizza's going to tell us who it is next.
