Militants in the Gaza Strip fired rockets toward Israel and Israeli warplanes bombed Hamas sites in Gaza a day after the deadliest Israeli raid in the West Bank in years.
Fire and smoke rise above buildings in Gaza City as Israel launched airstrikes on the Palestinian enclave.
TEL AVIV — Militants in the Gaza Strip fired rockets toward Israel and Israeli warplanes bombed Hamas sites in GazaThere were no injuries reported from the rocket fire or air strikes — possibly a sign that neither side seeks to set off a violent spiral., including gunmen and at least one civilian, in a raid on suspected militants in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.
The Palestinian Authority said it was suspending its usual security cooperation between its police and Israeli security forces. That cooperation — which has been suspended in protest before — is intended to help rein in militants. Israel has temporarily sent an additional battalion to the West Bank. The U.S. is calling for the sides to de-escalate, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken is making a pre-planned trip to the region Monday.
Israel started an offensive in the West Bank about 10 months ago after militant attacks inside Israel and violence have continued almost daily, with many Palestinian civilians among those killed or injured.Copyright 2023 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
