Fresh Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Kill Two Palestinians, Resistance Retaliates with Rocket Barrage

OCCUPIED TERRITORIES- Israeli warplanes have carried out fresh air raids on the blockaded Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians and injuring several others.

The aerial assaults on Saturday followed the retaliatory firing of around 90 rockets from Gaza into the occupied territories on Saturday morning. The rocket fire activated warning sirens in multiple Israeli communities.

Palestinian sources said that the Israeli airstrikes had left two people dead and several others wounded in northern Gaza.

The rocket attacks came in retaliation for the killing of four Palestinians on Friday, two in an Israeli air raid on southern Gaza Strip and two by the occupation’s live fire in anti-occupation protests in the besieged coastal enclave.

 The Palestinian resistance held Israel fully responsible for the consequences of its aggression against peaceful Gaza demonstrations.

In a press release on Saturday, resistance vowed to avenge the killing of the four Palestinians, stressing that the Gaza resistance would not allow the Palestinian blood to go in vain and would not remain silent on the Israeli blockade.

The Israeli occupation carries out regular attacks on the Gaza Strip which has been under a crippling siege by Israel since 2007 and witnessed three wars since 2008.

It has also witnessed tensions since March 30, 2018 which marked the start of the Great March of Return protests, with participants demanding the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.

The Gaza incidents has so far left at least 268 Palestinians dead, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
