Israel launched a series of retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza early Friday, hours after dozens of rockets were fired from neighboring Lebanon into Israeli territory, in a barrage the Israeli military blamed on Palestinian militants.
A CNN journalist in Gaza City heard the sounds of planes and explosions, minutes after the Israel Defense Forces announced the operation. The Israeli strikes hit in multiple areas of the coastal enclave, which is controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Several rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israel in response.
Richard Hecht linked the rocket fire to the two Israeli incursions into the al-Aqsa mosque, saying they had created “very negative energies.” “The context of the story starts two days ago on Temple Mount with these very, very harsh pictures coming out of the prayer at night,” Hecht said, using the Jewish name for the Jerusalem holy site, which is known to Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary.
