Amid heightened tensions, including clashes between Israel and Palestine in Jerusalem in the Middle East, Israel carried out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the early morning of the 7th. In response, armed groups in the Gaza Strip have also attacked Israel, raising concerns that the situation will escalate.
The clashes took place in the Islamic holy city of Haram al-Sharif in the Old City of Jerusalem, a sacred place called the Temple Mount for Judaism.
While some radical Jews moved to hold prohibited religious ceremonies in this place, many Palestinians gathered at mosques in the holy site on the 5th to try to prevent this, and Israeli security forces rushed in and clashed with the Palestinians.
Amid rising tensions between Israel and Palestine, one person was injured when a rocket landed from the neighboring Lebanese side in northern Israel on the 6th.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said at a press conference, "We will beat the enemy and make them pay the price for any attack," and in the early morning of the 7th, he carried out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip of Palestine, which is effectively controlled by the Islamic organization Hamas, and southern Lebanon.
In response, armed groups in the Gaza Strip have issued a statement saying they are "ready to confront and resist any attack with force" and are carrying out rocket attacks on Israel, raising concerns that the situation will escalate.
