Israel launches airstrikes in Gaza, after the Israeli military said Palestinian militants fired rockets following a raid in the occupied West Bank that killed at least 11 people.
The Israel Defense Forces said the strikes were in response to six rockets from Gaza and struck a weapons manufacturing site and military compound belonging to the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza.
The rockets were fired hours after at least 11 people were killed and scores more were wounded after a rare daytime arrest operation by Israeli troops sparked a gun battle in the West Bank city of Nablus, according to Palestinian officials. The Palestinian Health Ministry said that a 72-year-old man was among the 11 who died in or following Wednesday’s raid, and that 102 people were wounded.
The violence comes in the first weeks of Benjamin Netanyahu's new far-right government, which has promised to take a tough line against the Palestinians and pledged to ramp up settlement construction on lands Palestinians seek for their future state.Israeli forces routinely conduct raids in the occupied West Bank even though the Palestinian Authority has full control over administrative and security issues in the area.
Israel says that most of those killed have been militants but that others — including youths protesting the incursions and other people not involved in confrontations — have also been killed. An AP tally has found that just under half of those killed belonged to militant groups.
