Islamic Jihad is calling it revenge for their militants killed by Israel yesterday. They are threatening to keep attacking and to escalate.
There have been 2 barrages of mortar fire in the last 2 hours."
UPDATED - URGENT: IRANIAN-MADE ROCKETS BEING FIRED INTO ISRAEL FROM GAZA ---- Large Mortar Attack from Gaza Blows-up Israeli Civilian areas - Massive Response
Buckle up
"Earlier this month the area saw the worst violence since the last round of fighting between Hamas and Israel in 2014. Israeli forces shot and killed 60 people protesting at the border over living conditions and the US embassy’s move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"At least 116 people have been killed in protests since March, which Hamas has vowed will continue...."
As long as Israel maintains its criminal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and refuses to allow international investigations into its many war crimes, Palestinians will continue to resist by all mean necessary.
And they will continue to die.
