Israel has launched the largest wave of air strikes on Gaza since the 2014 war, as militants in the enclave fired volleys of rockets at towns adjacent to the border.
Two Palestinian teenagers were killed and at least three Israeli civilians were injured in the intense cross-border exchange that first erupted on Friday night.
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, an Israeli army
spokesman, said the decision to bomb Gaza was taken after “terror along
the security fence, arson terror and rockets”. The Israeli army said it
had struck more than 40 targets in Gaza, the largest wave of daytime
strikes since Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014.
Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, the militant group that has ruled Gaza since 2007, claimed that its fighters had “responded appropriately by targeting Israeli…military targets” after a “ruthless” attack. More than 90 rockets and mortars were fired from the enclave at southern Israeli towns.
In Gaza, plumes of smoke rose above several cities as strikes
tore through buildings including a high-rise in Al-Shati refugee camp
in the north. Israel said the building was covering a militant tunnel
and an underground warfare training facility.
