BREAKING: Israel's military says it is hitting the Gaza Strip with airstrikes after two rockets fired earlier from the Palestinian territory were intercepted by air defenses.
Two rockets were fired from Gaza early Friday and Israel responded with airstrikes on the territory, further escalating tensions.
Air raid sirens went off in southern Israel as the initial two rockets were fired and then again after the airstrikes. “We want to see them move back in the other direction,” she said, adding: “They need to engage with each other.”Thursday’s gun battle that left nine dead and 20 wounded erupted when Israel’s military conducted a rare daytime operation in the Jenin camp that it said was meant to prevent an imminent attack on Israelis. The camp, where the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group has a major foothold, has been a focus of near-nightly Israeli arrest raids.
Tensions have soared since Israel stepped up raids in the West Bank last spring, following a series of Palestinian attacks. The military said forces closed roads to aid the operation, which may have complicated rescue efforts, and that tear gas had likely wafted into the hospital from nearby clashes.
