Palestinian fighters in Gaza launch barrage of projectiles toward Israel, reports say, in apparent reaction to violence in occupied West Bank by illegal Israeli settlers.
Dozens of rockets have been fired from the blockaded Gaza towards Israel, an AFP journalist in the Palestinian territory said, as sirens warning of incoming fire blared in Israel.
Saturday's attack comes after a Palestinian was killed during clashes with illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank town of Huwara, where renewed violence by settlers during his funeral left nine others hospitalised. The rocket fire from besieged Gaza was launched from multiple locations in Gaza starting at 06:30 am and continuing for nearly half an hour, an AFP journalist reported.
The Israeli army warned of sirens across the country's south, while the police urged the public to stay near bomb shelters. Explosions could be heard in cities around Tel Aviv and outside occupied Jerusalem.Israel has imposed a crippling blockade on Gaza since 2007.Palestinians march at youth's funeral following settler rampage
