A deadly strike in an Israeli town has left residents reeling, with many expressing shock and fear in the aftermath of the incident. The attack took place in Ashkelon, southern Israel, on Tuesday evening, involving a rocket fired from Gaza. The strike resulted in the deaths of two Israeli women, one in her 80s and the other in her 60s, and left several others wounded.
Israeli officials have condemned the attack, with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett labeling it as a “war crime” and vowing to retaliate. The Israeli military has conducted airstrikes on Gaza in response, targeting what they claim are Hamas facilities and infrastructure used for launching attacks.
On the other hand, Hamas, the militant group controlling Gaza, has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Israeli officials argue that as the ruling entity in Gaza, Hamas bears responsibility for all violence emanating from the territory.
The incident has once again escalated tensions in the region, with residents in southern Israel fearing further violence and reprisals. Many have been forced to seek shelter in bomb shelters as sirens continue to blare, warning of incoming rockets.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides on high alert and the risk of further violence looming large. The international community has called for restraint and a de-escalation of the conflict to prevent a wider escalation of violence in the region.
