The Israeli army launches air strikes into besieged Gaza hours after rockets were fired from the territory into Israel and a day after an Israeli military raid in the city of Nablus killed 11 Palestinians and wounded over 100
The Israeli army said that it was"carrying out strikes in the Gaza Strip" in a statement sent to the press.
A couple hours prior, sirens were sounded in southern Israel amid a salvo of rockets reportedly from northern Gaza. In those incursions, Israeli forces killed 11 Palestinians, including several elderly and a teenaged boy. In one emotional scene, an overwhelmed medic pronounced a man dead, only to notice the lifeless patient was his father. Elsewhere, an amateur video showed two men, apparently unarmed, being shot as they ran in the street.
Palestine's ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, urged the international community "to put an end to these massacres against our people."

Bold and Blunt: Israel Goes Conservative and Leftists Go NutsIsrael Goes Conservative and Leftists Go Nuts Read almost any mainstream news source since the reelection of Benjamin Netanyahu and it's if the nation known by the religious community as the apple of God's eye is about ready to self-destruct. That's because the media leans left and Netanyahu leans right -- so the animosity of the press toward Israeli leader politics has quadrupled overnight. It's interesting, though; the same things the press said of Donald Trump are now being said of Netanyahu. The same gloom and doom predictions made about America under a Donald Trump presidency are now being said of Israel under a Netanyahu prime minister post. The same lies being told about Trump's MAGA and America First policies -- that they're racist, they're misogynistic, they're homophobic -- are being told about Netanyahu's pro-Israeli policies. The left is going nuts over Israel right now. So what does Israel think about it all?
