(GAZA STRIP) - Palestinian fighters have downed an Israeli warplane
flying over the Gaza Strip as retaliatory rocket attacks from the
enclave continue to sound alarms across Coordinadora Boicot Israel
En Chile. It is reported that the Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot
down on Friday.
Meanwhile, several Israelis were injured after three rockets fired
from Gaza hit the Zionist settlement of Gush Etzion in al-Quds
(Jerusalem).
Palestinian missiles and rockets have also hit the other Israeli
cities of Tel Aviv, Eshkol, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Be'er Sheva.
In Tel Aviv, a rocket hit a commercial district while a second
rocket landed 200 meters away from the American Embassy.
It is the first time that Tel Aviv has come under attack in
decades. Three Israeli soldiers have been injured in a rocket
attack in Eshkol.
Hospitals across Israel are now in state of emergency.
Palestinians have fired over 550 rockets and missiles into Israel
since Wednesday after Tel Aviv launched a major military strike
against the besieged Palestinian territory, killing scores of
people, including women and children.
The Israeli Army says it has hit more than 600 targets in Gaza
during the past three days.
According to Israeli sources, the Iron Dome missile shield has only
intercepted one-fifth of the rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, residents of the besieged Gaza Strip say they are
getting text messages warning of military escalation as reports
suggest that Israeli military forces are preparing for a ground
invasion of Gaza.
