After a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Air Force fired on several targets in the Palestinian territories. Among them are a weapons factory and a military site of the radical Islamist Hamas, the army said Thursday morning. According to reports from the Gaza Strip, no one was injured. Columns of smoke rose from the two military posts. Several nearby homes sustained minor damage.
A few hours earlier, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired six rockets at Israel. Five missiles were intercepted and one missile fell in an open area, the Israeli army said. Initially, no Palestinian group officially claimed responsibility for the attack.
A Hamas spokesman said in the morning that the armed resistance groups in the Gaza Strip are the “shield and sword” of the Palestinian people. “Your patience has run out.”
At least 11 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military operation in Nablus in the West Bank on Wednesday. In addition, more than 100 people were injured, according to the Ramallah health ministry. The dead include a 72-year-old and a 16-year-old. The Israeli army announced that the armed forces came under heavy fire during the attempted arrest of three terror suspects. This was answered with shots. A general strike was declared in the West Bank on Thursday.
The security situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has long been extremely tense. Since the beginning of the year, nine Israelis and one Ukrainian have been killed in attacks by Palestinians. During the same period, 61 Palestinians were killed – they were shot in clashes with the Israeli army or after their own attacks. (rbu/sda/dpa)
