The Israeli Defense Forces launched bombardments on Algerian-owned towers used by Hamas in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave towards Israeli towns. This spiral of violence prompted hundreds of Palestinians to flood the streets in Gaza for protests against Israel and support for Hamas’ wing, the Islamic Jihad. Israel said its primary aim was to hit the terrorists behind rocket attacks that killed an Israeli and wounded seven.
