Thursday’s rocket fire followed a second night of violence around Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque, as Israeli police stormed the area using stun grenades, rubber bullets and batons to disperse thousands of worshipers who had gathered for Ramadan prayers.
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military carried out airstrikes in the Gaza Strip overnight Thursday in response to a rare barrage of rockets fired from south Lebanon, raising the specter of a broader regional conflict after Israeli police raids on one of Islam’s holiest sites.Israeli fighter jets struck two underground tunnels and two Hamas weapon manufacturing sites in the northern and central Gaza Strip, according to a statement by the Israeli army.
“At moments of truth, the citizens of Israel stand united and unified, and back the actions of the IDF and the other security services to defend our country and our people,” Netanyahu continued, seeking to reassure a nation on edge. At least six Palestinians were injured, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. It said 37 were injured the night before, on Tuesday, when Israeli officers forced their way into one of the mosque’s main prayer halls after worshipers had locked themselves inside. Worshipers threw stones and firecrackers at them, police said, and videos from the scene showed officers beating people with batons.
“Congratulations to the Israel Police officers for their brave and dedicated work,” he tweeted after Tuesday’s raid. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon described the situation as “extremely serious” and said its “peacekeepers continue to perform our duties, to the best of our abilities, during this difficult day.”
