It is the embrace in the Gaza Strip where military climbing between Hamas and Israel intensified on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday. Hundreds of rockets were launched by the Islamist movement towards Israel.
Since Monday, Hamas has, in fact, launched more than a thousand rockets towards Israel. For its part, the Israeli army led a series of raids on the Gaza Strip, causing the death of at least 32 Gazaouis including ten children, and at least 220 injured.
Last night, a building of a dozen floors in the center of the city of Gaza, in which members of Hamas had their offices, was completely destroyed in an Israeli strike, reports the AFP.
After this new night of violence, there is no doubt that Hamas and Israel are heading for a new large-scale war, warned the UN emissary last night for the Middle East Tor Wennesland, calling on the parties to end “immediately” to the clashes.
The international community called for calm and Muslim countries have expressed their indignation in the face of the worst of violence for years between Hamas and Israel, triggered as a result of clashes at Al Quds-Est East, which has been 700 injured.
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu threatens to intensify Israeli attacks, announcing that Hamas “was going to take a beating that he does not expect”.
For his part, the head of Hamas Ismaïl Haniyeh said he was ready to do battle in the event of climbing. “If (Israel) wants an escalation, the resistance is ready and if (Israel) wants to stop, we are ready too,” he said.
