The leader of Islamic militant group Hamas has announced the beginning of a new military operation against Israel, with a number of Palestinian militants infiltrating into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said “a number of terrorists have infiltrated into Israeli territory”, with residents along the border area ordered to remain indoors.The sound of outgoing rockets whooshing through the air could be heard in Gaza and sirens wailed as far away as Tel Aviv, some 70 kilometres to the north, during the early morning barrage that lasted more than 30 minutes.
Although there was no claim of responsibility for the rocket fire, Israel typically holds the ruling Hamas militant group responsible for any fire emanating from the territory. The blockade, which restricts the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza, has devastated the territory’s economy.
