Shillong, May 3: In the early hours of Wednesday, Israel launched airstrikes against the Hamas government in Gaza after the country’s armed forces claimed that “dozens of rockets had been fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians,” the reports stated.

Armed factions in Gaza launched rocket attacks on Israel after a Palestinian prisoner who was on a hunger strike died there. This caused the situation to worsen.

According to reports, there were numerous airstrikes on various locations in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli military acknowledged that they had “Hamas training camps” as their goal.

Official Twitter handle of Israel Defense Forces stated, “Dozens of rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians, leaving them running to bomb shelters. This has been the reality for many in Israel today.”

Israeli officials said the attacks were in response to strikes ‘throughout the day’ from Gaza.

Reports stated that people suffered injuries and that there had been around 35 missile launches in southern Israel.
