The Israel military says its iron dome rocket defense system has shot down an incoming projectile bound for Tel Aviv. AP footage shows a plume of smoke emanating from an iron dome battery deployed in Tel Aviv followed by a flash of light overhead as the rocket is intercepted. The White House says it believes Israel has the right to defend itself against attack. A top aide to the president says the U.S. and Israel both want an end to the rocket fire that's coming from the Hamas-ruled Gaza strip. Egyptian security officials say grieving families have cut off roads and prime minister access the scene of a train accident that killed at least 49 kindergartners. An AP reporter said protesters used burning logs and cinder blocks to set up roadblocks, firing automatic rifles into the air and denouncing President Mohammed Morsi and other leaders.
