The Arab League decided on Wednesday to convene an emergency meeting of permanent representatives to discuss the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The meeting will be held at the request of Egypt, Palestine and Jordan, and will also discuss the request for international protection for the Palestinian people.

On Wednesday, Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids on different areas of the Gaza strip. The latest developments come about a week after a military escalation erupted in Gaza following the death of prisoner Khader Adnan inside Israeli prisons.
