Ramallah – At least four Palestinians have been killed as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) relaunched multiple airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Friday night.
The Israeli military says that the airstrikes were made in response to gunfire exchange between Hamas fighters and Israeli troops earlier in the day.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) aircraft and tanks targeted eight Hamas military posts in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called on the international community to intervene in Israel’s bombing of the Strip and expressed that he has reached out to regional and international partners for assistance.
Hamas rulers said Saturday they had accepted a cease-fire ending a massive Israeli onslaught on militant positions after a soldier was shot dead, once again pulling the sides back from the brink of a full-fledged war.
Israel and Hamas have fought three such wars over the past decade and Hamas agreed to the second such cease-fire in a week under heavy Egyptian and international pressure.
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a “prolonged struggle” with Palestinians if they didn’t hit violence at the border, including incendiary kites and balloons being sent over the border.

Friday’s airstrikes came as Palestinians continued their Great March of Return protests along the border. The weekly protests since March call for the return of refugees to their homes and lands from which they were displaced in 1948.
