Netanyah vows to continue attacks on Gaza

Netanyahu has pledged that it will continue to respond strongly to” against missile attacks, until the conflict with Palestinians in Gaza is entering on the seventh day.

On Sunday morning, Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed at least three Palestinians, health officials said.

Palestinian militants fired missiles at Tel Aviv, causing people there to flee to the shelter.

Palestinian armed groups have fired at least 2,300 missiles in Israel's direction since the beginning of the escalation of violence.

On May 16th, Hamas has fired a heavy hail of rockets from Gaza to central and southern Israel”, Israeli Defence Forces said.

Since the beginning of fighting at least 148 people have been killed in Gaza, according to Palestinian officials, and Israel has reported 10 deaths, including two children. Israel says dozens of militants are among the dead in Gaza, while Palestinian health officials say the death toll includes 41 children.

Speaking in a televised address late Saturday, Netanyah said the attacks would continue as necessary and that everything is being done to avoid civilian victims.

The wall that bears the blame for this confrontation is not us, since we are the ones that are attacking us”, Netanyah said.

Netanyah issued the warning after a series of air strikes had targeted high-level officials and commanders of Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza, and is considered terrorist by Israel.

Netanyah said there is no “any more fair or moral campaign” than that of Israel against Hamas.

On 16 May, the Israeli Army said it carried out air strikes at the home of Yahoa Sinwar, the head of Hamas' political arm at the Gaza Strip. The army didn't know if he was killed.

“Midis hit targets are the residences of Yahya Sinwar, the chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, as well as of his brother Muhamed Sinaar, the chief of Logistics”, the Israeli Army said in a statement.

On Saturday (May 15th), Israeli air strikes destroyed a multistory building in Gaza, where international media offices were located. The Israeli army said the destruction of the building was legitimate because there were military assets belonging to Hamas. Before the attack Israel issued a warning so that personnel could be evacuated.

The international community has called for an end to the escalating conflict. The UN Security Council will hold a meeting late Sunday.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expressed shock at the number of civilian victims in the Gaza fighting, as well as the “deep concern from Israel's attack on the building where media offices were located.

“The Secretary General recalls the fact for all sides that any attack on civilian and media structures is a violation of international law and should be avoided at any cost”, said the spokesman, Stephanie Dujaric, in a statement.

On Saturday, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, held a telephone conversation with Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who expressed concern about the situation.

In his conversation with Netanyah, Beden expressed “concern about the sparking of violence, as well as raising concern for the safety of journalists by condemning excessive attacks on cities and beyond Israel. However, President Biden told Prime Minister Netanyahu that he continued to uphold Israel's right to defend itself.

While Beden has told Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that Washington is committed to “strengthening partnership” between the US and Palestinians, but has also stressed the need “for Hamas to stop rocket attacks in Israel”.

Diplomatic efforts so far have failed to curb the violence, which has been the most serious since 2014.

The outbreak of violence over the past six days followed several weeks of increasing tension in eastern Jerusalem, which culminated in clashes at a holy place honored by Muslims and Jews. Hamas ) the Palestinian militant group leading Gaza began to launch missiles after warning Israel to withdraw from the country, triggering revenge attacks on Israeli air.
