Israeli Raid Hurts Gaza Father, Daughter

Almanar
An Israeli air strike on the Zeitun neighborhood in Gaza City injured a Palestinian father and his daughter early on Sunday, Palestinian medics said.

The strike followed days of rising tensions between the Israeli occupation and Gaza resistance fighters.

Gaza resistance groups have claimed responsibility for lobbing a barrage of rockets into southern occupied Palestinian territories as a retaliation for the Israeli military’s series of air raids that have killed many civilians.

In a statement, the Israeli military confirmed an early morning air strike which it claimed "targeted a weapon manufacturing site in the northern Gaza Strip." "Direct hits were confirmed and secondary explosions were identified," the statement added. "The site was targeted in response to the ongoing rocket fire from the Gaza Strip."

Palestinian medics assured that the Israeli air strike on Gaza have injured a Palestinian father and his daughter.

Speaking to public radio on Sunday, Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon warned Gaza's resistance movement Hamas against continued rocket fire into “Israel”. "A state cannot allow its territory to be constantly under fire from an enemy," he said. Israel "will take the necessary measures to impose a high price" if the rocket fire from Gaza continued.
