Israel-Palestine: Israeli Airstrikes Hit Gaza Strip

Israel-Palestine: Israeli Airstrikes Hit Gaza Strip

The Israeli-Palestinian tensions escalated further after Israel launched multiple airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Thursday.

Palestinian armed groups also replied by firing rockets in the latest bout of unrest in the region. The attacks come hours after the army intercepted a rocket fired from the Palestinian territory.

There were no reports of casualties at the moment of this report.

The escalating violence between Israel and Palestine has affected much of the West Bank, with 2022 the deadliest year there since the United Nations started tracking the fatalities in 2005.

Around 235 people died in the conflict last year, with nearly 90% of the fatalities on the Palestinian side, according to AFP figures.

In January of this year alone, Israeli forces killed 35 Palestinians, including attackers, alleged militants and civilians.
