The Israel-Palestine conflict has been ongoing for decades, and the latest news is that Israel has bombed Gaza after rocket fire and a deadly raid in Nablus.
The Israeli military launched airstrikes against Gaza on Sunday, targeting what it said were Hamas military sites in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian territory. The airstrikes came after a deadly raid in the West Bank city of Nablus, in which Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man and wounded two others.
The Israeli military said the airstrikes were in response to rocket fire from Gaza that had targeted southern Israel. The military said it had targeted “Hamas military sites” in the northern Gaza Strip, including a weapons manufacturing site and a military compound.
The airstrikes come amid heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinians, with the two sides locked in a long-running conflict over the future of the Palestinian territories. The latest round of violence began in May, when Israel launched a military offensive against Hamas in Gaza in response to rocket fire from the territory.
The violence has since spread to the West Bank, where Israeli forces have carried out a series of raids and arrests in recent weeks. The raid in Nablus on Sunday was the latest in a series of deadly raids in the West Bank.
The Israeli military said it was responding to “ongoing terror activity” in the West Bank and Gaza, and that it would continue to take “all necessary measures” to protect Israeli citizens.
The Palestinian Authority condemned the airstrikes and the raid in Nablus, saying they were “a dangerous escalation” and “a violation of international law.” The Palestinian Authority also called on the international community to intervene to stop the violence.
The latest round of violence has raised fears of a full-scale war between Israel and the Palestinians. The two sides have been locked in a long-running conflict over the future of the Palestinian territories, and the latest violence has only served to further heighten tensions.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days and weeks, but it is clear that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is far from over.
