This case has been going on for two or three days. On the last Friday before Eid, some Palestinians went to pray at the Aqsa Mosque. There they hurled stones at Israeli troops with anti-Israel slogans. The Israeli army then retaliated by attacking them. More than 300 Palestinians were wounded and five to six Israeli soldiers were wounded in the clashes. Hamas then fired rockets at Israel in retaliation.
After the Hamas attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Our army has given a worthy response to the Hamas attack.” About an hour later, the Israeli Air Force launched an air strike on the Hamas base in Gazapatti. The strike is reported to have killed 20 people.
