Violence flares again in Gaza, southern Israel

The cease-fire that had been in place did not last long being that on Thursday Gaza sent a volley of 17 rockets into Southern Israel. This was followed up by the Israeli air force conducting several strikes and hitting what they thought to be 7 terrorist sites. This all was supposedly because three Islamist Jihad members were inspecting an Israeli drone and were killed by an Israeli airstrike, or so the Palestinians argued. Israel on the other hand argues that this is all because of the Hamas who govern Gaza. The preexisting cease-fire came due to four Palestinian residents were critically injured after an Israeli air strike.
