11 September 2019After the launch from Gaza of two rockets to Ashdod and Ashkelon (in the south of the country) the Israeli air force - reports a military spokesman - hit "15 targets of the terrorist organization Hamas", including an offensive tunnel ". The attack on Ashdod - neutralized by an Iron Dome battery - occurred while Benyamin Netanyahu held a rally. The premier has been pushed towards a shelter and the public has run for cover.

Several Palestinian sites highlight the images of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu when he had to interrupt a Likud rally in Ashdod following the launch of a rocket from Gaza yesterday with evidence and complacency. "The most powerful man in the Middle East forced to flee," says one of the Islamic sites that praised Gaza militias. In general, Netanyahu's visits near the borders of Israel are protected by censorship and are made public only after they have ended. But yesterday the Netanyahu rally in Ashdod was broadcast live on the Likud Facebook page. It is therefore not excluded - says the Israeli press - that that meeting was also noted in Gaza while it was taking place.
