The Israeli military has confirmed that its forces conducted strikes in Gaza on Friday, marking another escalation in the ongoing confrontations that have plagued the region for several days. These tensions have arisen in the midst of protests occurring along the fence, effectively isolating the besieged enclave from both Israel and the occupied West Bank.
While the Israeli military did not provide specific details about the strikes, media outlets associated with the Islamist Hamas movement, which controls Gaza, reported that security outposts were targeted.
Earlier in the day, the Palestinian health ministry reported that 14 Palestinians were wounded during the confrontations. These clashes have involved numerous youths who have been hurling stones, rudimentary pipe bombs, and setting tires ablaze in protests against the security forces. The situation remains tense as both sides grapple with the persistent unrest.
