Israel's military said Monday it had started striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip after a rocket hit a house in central Israel earlier in the day, wounding seven people.
In Moshav Mishmeret near Netanya, north of Tel Aviv, Israeli police examine a house that suffered a direct hit from a missile reportedly fired by militants from the Gaza Strip on Monday March 25, 2019.
Netanyahu promised a tough response while Gaza's Hamas leaders went into hiding, setting the stage for a possible major conflagration just two weeks before Israeli elections. Hamas has been leading weekly protests along the Israeli border for the last year in hopes of easing the blockade, but the demonstrations, in which some 190 people have been killed by Israeli fire, have done little to improve conditions.
Netanyahu, in Washington to meet President Trump, held emergency consultations with military officials in Israel. He said he would return home immediately after the White House meeting, canceling an address to the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby group and meetings with congressional leaders.The sounds of air raid sirens jolted residents of the Sharon area, northeast of Tel Aviv, shortly after 5 a.m., sending them scurrying to bomb shelters. A sound of a powerful explosion followed.
