An Israeli retaliatory airstrike on Sunday against the
Islamic militant group that dominates Gaza
called the Hamas, led to the deaths of a pregnant Palestinian woman
and a toddler. These are the first
Palestinian civilian casualties of an Israeli airstrike in more than a year. The Israeli military said the strikes early
on Sunday were in response to rocket fire into Israel
from the Gaza Strip. The mounting death
toll in Gaza seemed to contradict the Israeli Army’s stated policy of trying to
avoid civilian casualties. A weekend of
demonstrations by Arab citizens of Israel and counterdemonstrations by
right-wing Israeli Jews is said to have sparked the violence. The Palestinian Authority, Hamas and the
northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel also play a role in the
sudden violence outburst.
