The Israeli military bombed multiple targets in the Gaza Strip with warplanes
Comprehensive news: According to the “Times of Israel” report, in the early morning of the 16th local time, the Israeli military carried out an air strike on the Gaza Strip. This is the first attack by the Israeli army since the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire last month, and the first military attack since Israeli Prime Minister Bennett took office.
Live images released by local Palestinian media showed an explosion in the sky in the eastern and southern Gaza Strip, illuminating the entire night sky.
The Israeli army reported that the target of this airstrike was several military installations of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which was a response to the attack on Israel in the Gaza Strip on the 15th of this month. The Israeli army stated that it is “ready to deal with all situations, including re-taking up arms and fighting to face continued terrorist acts from the Gaza Strip.”
Hamas confirmed the attack and stated that no casualties have been caused. A Hamas spokesperson stated that the Palestinians will continue to “brave resistance in Jerusalem to defend their rights and holy land.”
According to foreign media analysis, the root cause of the conflict was a decision recently passed by an Israeli court: expelling several Palestinian families from their houses in East Jerusalem. A large number of Palestinians expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and they organized demonstrations in the local area to protest the court decision, and later clashed with the Israeli police.
