Why Israel Attack on Gaza?
Israel deployed thousands of troops near the edges of Gaza for a possible invasion. Israel is trying to stop this. Gaza is run by Islamic hardliners from Hamas who have fired nearly 2,000 rockets at Israel this week. Israel is protected mainly by its state-of-the-art iron dome missile defense system.
But Hamas was testing its limits, firing in clusters, hoping a few rockets will make it through, and they have, killing Israeli civilians. While millions in Israel were rushing to shelters, including American Maya dannon.
She said to NewsGater, “When you hear a siren, you get up immediately.
Usually, it’s been in the middle of the night lately. So we get out of bed. We go down to the bomb shelter.”
On Monday, as Palestinians were praying in Jerusalem mosque during the final days of Ramadan, Israeli troops dispersed them. Israel is saying it was responding to rock-throwing. But, Palastine called it a pattern of harassment in the holy city. Something new has benjamin Netanyahu, Israelis prime minister, scared.
Israeli citizens, 20% of the population, started to express their anger, too. Some even side is winning Hamas. Therefore, Israel is facing vigilante violence between jews, Israeli vs Arabs Israeli. Israelis are keeping watch for fellow citizens.
So far, at least eight Israelis died in this latest round of violence and nearly 120 Palestinians. In Gaza, they don’t have benefits from an iron dome missile defense system or bomb shelters. So Israeli airforce is giving them massive damage on Hamas-operated buildings.
