The outbreak of conflict follows months of surging violence in the West Bank.
GAZA CITY: Barrages of rockets were fired at Israel from the blockaded Gaza Strip at dawn today as militants from the Palestinian enclave infiltrated Israel, with at least one person killed, the army and medics said.
Air raid sirens wailed across Israel’s south and central areas, with the Israeli army urging the public to stay near bomb shelters. “We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation , their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over,” the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said. The latest fire follows a period of heightened tensions in September, when Israel closed the border to Gazan workers for two weeks.Demonstrators had resorted to burning tyres and throwing rocks and petrol bombs at Israeli troops, who have responded with tear gas and live bullets.
In May, an exchange of Israeli air strikes and Gaza rocket fire resulted in the deaths of 34 Palestinians and one Israeli.
