“Hamas needed to end the rocket attacks immediately, all sides need to de-escalate, reduce tensions, take practical steps to clam things down.”
Over 200 rockets were fired towards Israel by the Palestinian militants since Monday. 90 percent of which are coming from it’s iron dome missile defence system. In the heavy fire around 6 Israelis got injured.
