May 29, 2018 -- Israel Struck with Mortar Fire


On the second Friday of Ramadan, pro-Hamas demonstrations took place on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif.  It is estimated that 200,000 Muslims had gathered for prayer.  Following prayers, thousands gathered shouting, “With strength and blood we will redeem you, al Aqsa.”

On Tuesday May 29, Israel was struck by mortar fire from Gaza.  It appears that the areas hit were civilian and residential.  Israel responded by hitting several targets with air strikes, locations that are said to belong to both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad who are Gaza’s militant groups.
