Recently, the situation in Jerusalem has once again become extremely tense. On Monday, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket into the Israeli border area for the first time since the beginning of the year.
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired several rockets into the Israeli border area again late on Thursday. Sirens sounded twice in the southern part of the country, the Israeli army announced on Twitter. In the second attack, four rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip. However, these were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, he said.
A few hours earlier, Palestinian militants had fired the first rocket. The Israeli army said warning sirens sounded in the town of Sderot. A bullet was identified.
In response to the first attack, the Israeli army said it fired on an underground complex in the Gaza Strip used to build rocket engines. This will limit the Palestinians’ ability to manufacture missiles. “We hold Hamas responsible for all terrorist activities in the Gaza Strip,” the army wrote on Twitter.
