Following an escalation of back-and-forth provocations between the Israeli and Palestinian factions on the Gaza strip, HAMAS (the Islamist group in executive control of Gaza) launched a barrage of rockets at Israeli territory.
The Israeli government responded by sending its air force to carry out strategic strikes against logistical targets. One mentioned was the alleged strike on a facility in Gaza that produced rocket engine fuel.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has reached a month of boiling tensions following violent clashes between extremist Zionist factions and their Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist counterparts.
Tensions across the middle east are expected to skyrocket this year on account of food and fertiliser shortages from Russia.
