  Israel bombs Gaza for third night running

September 13, 2021
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel has bombed the Gaza Strip for the third night running, allegedly 
in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian territory. According to 
/Wafa/, Israeli aircraft bombed a "Hamas site" to the east of Beit 
Lahiya in the north of Gaza, causing a fire and destroying the target as 
well as nearby homes.

The Israelis also bombed a site to the west of Deir Al-Balah in the 
middle are of the territory, as well as a site to the east of Rafah in 
the south. Again, the targets are reported to have been destroyed, and 
adjoining properties have been damaged. There were no reports of any 
casualties.

The so-called Israel Defence Forces confirmed the attacks. "The IDF will 
continue to respond to terror [/sic/] efforts from the Gaza Strip," it said.

The Palestinians have a legitimate right to resist Israel's military 
occupation with whatever means are at their disposal. Rockets fired from 
the Gaza Strip are part of the Palestinian response to the Israeli 
occupation.

Tension between Israel and the Palestinians has risen over the past 
week, ever since six Palestinians escaped from a maximum security 
Israeli prison last Monday. Israeli forces have since recaptured four of 
the escapees.

Home to more than 2 million people, the Gaza Strip has been under a 
crippling Israeli siege since 2007, which has created a humanitarian 
crisis in the coastal enclave.
