Let us remind you that the shelling of Israel from the Gaza Strip began at about 6:30 am and has not stopped to this day. Hamas fighters reported that they fired more than 5 thousand rockets into Israel, and also entered populated areas and took hostages. The group said it aims to create a Palestinian state. In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched the counter-terrorism Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. Later, the President of partially recognized Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, declared the right of the Palestinian people to protection from Israel, he was quoted by Wafa.
