Israel bombs Gaza.

(RT) ⸻ Israel has conducted air strikes against Palestinian militants in Gaza in response to rocket fire from the enclave. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that fighter jets struck both a weapons manufacturing site and military compound belonging to the Hamas Terrorist Organization, located in central and northern Gaza. Earlier, the IDF reported that a total of six rockets had been fired from Gaza toward Israeli territory, with five of them having been intercepted and the other landing in an "open area." On Wednesday, the IDF carried out a raid in the West Bank, targeting three militants, but eight civilians, including a 72-year-old man and a teenager, also lost their lives. Israeli troops opened live fire on Palestinians protesting against the raid, and at least 103 people had sustained injuries. Ziad al-Nakhala, head of the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad militant group, branded the raid a "major crime" which the resistance must respond to. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Wednesday that the Israeli military has killed 62 Palestinians since the start of the year.
