Last weekend, more than twenty Palestinians and four Israelis died as missiles and mortars flew across the border between Gaza and Israel. Israeli Defense Forces said that 700 rockets and mortars were fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip. Israel responded with a massive bombardment. This was the worst fighting in the area since 2014.
