My Way News - Hamas targets Jerusalem in major escalation
My Way News reports: "Palestinian militants took aim at Jerusalem for the first time Friday,
launching a rocket attack on the holy city in a major escalation of
hostilities as Israel pressed forward with a relentless campaign of
airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. Israel called up
thousands of reservists and massed troops along the border with Gaza,
signaling a ground invasion of the densely populated seaside strip could
be imminent. [...] Israel's two largest cities have never before been exposed to rocket fire from Hamas-ruled Gaza. Over the past three days, Israel has struck suspected rocket-launching sites and other Hamas targets in Gaza with scores of airstrikes, while Hamas has fired more than 450 rockets toward Israel. "
My Way News - Analysis: Israel-Hamas: a clash waiting to happen
My Way News reports: "Since Israel completed a devastating military offensive in the Gaza Strip four years ago, military officials have warned it was only a matter of time before the next round of fighting. Violence erupted this week with little warning, driven by Hamas' ambitions to make its mark on a changing Middle East and an Israeli government reacting to public outcry over rocket attacks just weeks ahead of national elections."
