Since the opening of American Embassy in Jerusalem and the declaration of Jerusalem as the state capital of Israel, there has been several protest, bombings and chaos.
The Palestinian militants in Gaza fired more than 180 rockets and mortars into southern Israel and the Israeli military fired about 150 airstrikes as weeks of on-off violence came to a head, frustrating any hope of unity.
Three Palestinians were killed, including a pregnant woman, a toddler and a Hamas fighter. Several Israelis were wounded, along with a 30-year-old Thai woman living in Israel.
The Israeli army said it had targeted “strategic military sites” including Hamas weapons manufacturing and training locations.
Asked about the incident, an Israel Defence Forces spokesman, Lt Col Jonathan Conricus, said: “Hamas operatives, terrorists, were in a known Hamas position and fired weapons in a general direction towards the fence.
“I won’t go into further details on whether we understand it was an exercise or it wasn’t. But I can say that our mission is to defend Israeli civilians and of course if our soldiers are fired upon, we respond.”
Please, Pray for Peace in Jerusalem and its surroundings.
