Hamas unleashes fresh barrage of rocket fire towards Israel

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
May 13, 2021

JERUSALEM: Israel faced an escalating conflict as it scrambled to quell riots between Arabs and Jews on its own streets after days of deadly fire against Palestinians in Gaza.

Despite diplomatic efforts to ease the crisis, which US President Joe Biden said he hoped would end “sooner than later”, hundreds of rockets flew across the Gaza Strip overnight. Air raid warnings went off across Israel, including for the first time in the country’s north.

Israel’s air force said it had launched multiple strikes, targeting what it described as locations linked to the “counterintelligence infrastructure” of Hamas, as well as the house of Iyad Tayeb, one of the movement’s commanders.

In Gaza, 67 people have been killed so far — including 17 children — and nearly 400 injured after days of near relentless Israeli air strikes. On Wednesday, Hamas announced the death of its military chief in Gaza City, Bassem Issa, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) saying they had killed three other senior figures as well.

IDF strikes also destroyed a multi-storey tower housing Palestinian television channel Al-Aqsa, set up by Hamas. Israel said around 1,500 rockets had been launched into its territory since the beginning of the week by Palestinians

Seven people have been killed, including one six-year-old after a rocket struck his home in southern Israel. The past few days have seen the most intense hostilities in seven years between Israel and Gaza’s armed groups.

Coinciding with the aerial bombardments is surging violence between Arabs and Jews inside Israel. On Wednesday night, Israeli far-right groups took to the streets across the country, clashing with security forces and Arab Israelis.

Police said they had responded to violent incidents in multiple towns, including Lod, Acre and Haifa. Israeli television aired footage of a far-right mob beating a man they considered an Arab until he lay

A state of emergency has been declared in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Lod, where a synagogue and other Jewish property has been torched and an Arab resident was shot dead. In the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian man was killed during a confrontation with Israeli soldiers near the northern city of Nablus

An emergency UN Security Council meeting on the tensions has been requested for Friday. The Council has already held two closed-door videoconferences since Monday, with the United States opposing adoption of a joint declaration, which it said would not “help de-escalate” the situation.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he had spoken to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, urging an end to the rocket attacks. Blinken had said earlier that a US envoy would travel to the Middle East to seek to calm tensions.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking alongside UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, called for an urgent meeting of the Middle East Quartet — Russia, United States, UN and the EU.

The Israeli government has warned that “this is only the beginning”, and army spokesman Jonathan Conricus said strikes on Gaza would continue as Israel prepares for “multiple scenarios”. He said sending ground troops into Gaza was “one scenario” that was not the focus of the current operation. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has also threatened to step up attacks, warning that “if Israel wants to escalate, we are ready for it”.

Nightly disturbances have since flared in east Jerusalem, leaving more than 900 Palestinians injured, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. The unrest has been driven by anger over the looming evictions of Palestinian families from the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
