On May 12, the decades-old Israel-Palestine crisis erupted once more, with missiles fired from both sides. According to the most recent official reports, airstrikes have killed more than tens of Palestinians, including children and a woman, while five Israelis have died.
Hamas fired a new volley of deadly rockets at Israel on Wednesday in revenge for Israel’s destruction of a 14-story building in Gaza, ruling out an immediate truce. The 130 rockets fired by Hamas, which killed a six-year-old boy in southern Israel and triggered air raid warnings up to Tel Aviv, were said to be a response to the destruction of Gaza City’s Al-Farouk tower. In only three days, militants have launched over 1,000 missiles, according to the Israeli military. That’s almost a quarter of the total amount of rounds shot in the entire 2014 conflict.
