Violence triggered overnight which resulted in the death of 35 Palestinians in Gaza and five people got killed in Israel. Israel carried several airstrikes in Gaza after an Islamist group along with some of the Palestinian groups fired rocket barrages at Beersheba and Tel Aviv. One complete multi-storeyed residential complex in Gaza got collapsed and one more is heavily damaged because of the violence. Israel said that they targeted Hamas that included the rocket launch sites and the intelligence centres. This happens to be the biggest offense between Hamas and Israel after the 2014 war that took place in Gaza.

This war in Gaza devastated the ordinary people badly. United Nations is working hard to restore the peace from both the sides and it urged them to stop the violence. Several Gazans reported during the early hours of Wednesday that their houses started shaking and it was due to the rocket attacks of Israel. The Israelis ran away for shelter and landed on the pavements. The armed wing of Hamam said that they fired 210 rockets in Beersheba and Tel Aviv. There were tensed situations during the fasting month of Ramadan and there are clashes between the Israeli cops and the protestors of Palestine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the militants of paying a heavy price for the rocket attacks. The rescue operations are on and there are reports saying that the casualties may see a rise.
