Israel fires missiles at Gaza in largest firefight in 4 years - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Israel's military launched airstrikes into Gaza Tuesday to retaliate
for a large mortar attack against Israeli settlements, officials said.
The strikes came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
vowed to 'respond with great force' to the attacks, which officials
said included 28 mortar shells. [...] Israel's military said the mortar
shells [...] were mostly intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile
defense system. Some of the mortars, it added, landed on the grounds of a
kindergarten before students arrived. Tuesday's was the largest and
most serious exchange of fire in the conflict since 2014."
Comment: This report does not go into detail about the militant group Hamas or how they are funded and equipped by Iran. I have no doubt that the mortar attack was a response by Iran to Israel's recent skirmish with Iran in Syria. Iran is using Hamas and the Palestinians as proxies in their undeclared war with Israel.
