Israel struck targets in southern Lebanon on Friday and continued air strikes in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli ministry said, as reported by the AP news agency. The recent attacks mark a further escalation in the region after violence took place this week at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site.
The latest strikes in southern Lebanon came after militants from Lebanon fired three dozen rockets at Israel on Thursday. According to AP, Gaza militants resumed rocket fire toward southern Israel early Friday following Israeli attacks there. The recent violence began on Wednesday following the raids by Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City. The raids led to rocket fire from Gaza and an unusual barrage of three dozen rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel.
