JERUSALEM (Parliament Politics Magazine) – As US President Joe Biden began his trip to the Middle East, which includes Israel and Saudi Arabia, Israel launched repeated missile strikes against Gaza in response to rocket launches from the region.
The Hamas-run missile factory in central Gaza was struck early on Saturday, according to the Israeli military, which controls the blockaded territory.
Over a dozen missiles have been fired at two different places in the territory which woke people with an alarm at the sound of the explosions , according to Youmna ElSayed of Al Jazeera, who was reporting from Gaza.
Although no injuries had been recorded, she continued, there was a lot of damage to material things. They could see a lot of fires burning at the land around and on the site itself.
She claimed that most of the surrounding area was agricultural.
The Israeli attacks occurred immediately after Joe Biden’s visit to Israel, according to Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, so it was not a coincidence.
He stated in a statement that the escalation reflected the level of American backing and encouragement that the Israeli occupation had gotten for the continuance of its aggression and the perpetration of its crimes. This escalation followed US President Joe Biden’s visit to the Zionist entity.
Sirens blasted two times in southern Israel to alert locals to impending rocket attacks.
According to the Israeli military, one was intercepted, while three landed in open areas.
No group has taken responsibility for the rocket launches.
After a brief period of relative peace, Israel launched missiles into Gaza last month, this time following rocket launches from the besieged area. Although it claimed to have targeted Hamas military facilities, the missiles, according to Palestinian authorities, crashed on farmland.
Israel attacked Gaza for 11 days in May 2021, killing 253 Palestinians, including 66 children, and injuring over 1,900 others.
During the same period, rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas and other armed factions killed at least 12, including three foreign employees and two children.
US President Joe Biden vowed on Friday during a trip to Israel and the occupied West Bank to continue working toward peace, but he made no new suggestions to jumpstart the process.
