Israel launches airstrikes on Gaza

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes late Saturday on several locations in  Gaza Strip.

Tensions increased in the region after hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated on the Gaza-Israel border.

A few hours after, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced that Israel would respond to the shooting of an Israeli soldier during demonstrations earlier on the border.

 “In response to the violent riots Hamas instigated on the Israel-Gaza border today, our forces just struck 4 Hamas weapons and storage manufacturing sites,” the IDF confirmed in a tweet.
