After a day of escalating violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories which left at least two Palestinians dead and dozens injured in clashes with police and Israeli soldiers, Israel is on high alert with public alarm warnings sounding across multiple communities in the south after at least three rockets were from fired from the Gaza Strip Friday evening.
Once again, Israeli warplanes have carried out a number of airstrikes on multiple locations across the Gaza Strip. The attacks were reportedly in retaliation after a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into an unpopulated area in the occupied territories. Press TV reports: According to al-Aqsa TV, Israeli jets targeted areas to the west of the Dayr al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, and an empty patch of agricultural land to the east of Gaza City in the early hours of Thursday morning. Israeli F16 jets also bombed the Shejaiya area, reportedly resulting in power cuts across the region.
