REQUIEM: VIOLENCE ON THE ISRAEL-GAZA BORDER

Israeli Iron Dome Intercepts Hamas Rockets

As you know, Israel has been carrying out air strikes against Palestinian militants in Gaza, after its targeted killing of a top Palestinian rocket commander. Israel says Bahaa abu el-Atta of the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad was behind a series of rocket attacks on its territory. Palestinian militants responded by firing rockets at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv. It is one of the worst escalations of violence on the Israel-Gaza border in years.

"Israel didn’t initiate attacks on Gaza or Hamas or the Palestinian Authority. And it didn’t attack the backer of this violence: the regime in Iran.
Every single life lost in this conflict, Israeli and Palestinian alike, is the result of Iranian-backed Palestinian terror." _ Mike Pompeo, Former US Secretary of State (May 19, 2021)
