Tel Aviv, May 30 (TNS): Israel’s military has launched a series of air strikes on Palestinian after a rocket fire from the Gaza Strip which considered the biggest in years.
According to Israel’s military, its warplanes on Tuesday hit more than 35 targets belonging to Hamas. The strikes came after the fired from Gaza into southern Israel. The firing of the rockets and mortars came as Islamic Jihad vowed to take revenge after a deadly attack against its members last week.
Al-Qassam and al-Quds blamed Israel for its “aggression against our people” which it described as “an attempt to shift attention away from the crimes it carried out against our peaceful civilians”.
Since March 30, at least 121 unarmed Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in protests near the fence with Israel; they are demanding their right to return to the homes and lands their families were expelled from during the establishment of Israel.
A lot of frustration can be seen in Palestinians that after more than two months of protests and more than 100 people killed Palestinians here are no closer to ending Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
