Israel Retaliates After Gaza Rocket Attack

After numerous Gaza rockets struck Israeli settlements early wednesday Israel responded with airstrikes in 6 strategic Gaza locations. The Al-Quds Brigade, a faction of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the attack. The attacks on Israel were purported to be the most substantial attack in two years against Israel. The Israeli military tweeted that a total of 41 rockets hit in Israel and they responded with strikes on 29 areas. Following the attacks the Israeli foreign minister told the army that he supported a full occupation of Gaza in any future action. In stating a reason for the attacks the spokesmen of the Al-Quds Brigade stated that Israel has repeatedly violated their truce with the Palestinians.
