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. The escalation drew international involvement, with Egypt and the United Nations appeasing for calm and mediation efforts cautiously optimistic. Despite public assertions of restraint, Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, also vowed to hit the Islamic Jihad leaders. The current conflict has added fuel to the longstanding dispute between Israel and Palestinian groups, which could have significant consequences for both sides.
