Global Geopolitical Series: Tensions intensify in Gaza as Hamas fires 150 rockets targeting Israel

Tensions are intensifying across the Gaza border as Hamas fired as many as 150 rockets targeting Israel last night with missile sirens continuing during morning hours. You can check out the live updates of the situation in Gaza, directly at the Jerusalem Post’s live blog here, https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Live-updates-Flareup-in-the-south-564419 in response to the attack, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) have struck Hamas targets, as many as 140, along the Gaza border. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has been accused of spreading the false news by the Israeli government.

BBC, however, not alone in this. Many anti-Israeli newspapers have not even reported the damage done by Hamas Rockets since only 25 were reportedly intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. We at FxWirePro believe, there are likely civilian and infrastructure causalities on both sides.

While some analysts suggest that the tensions could further heighten along the Gaza border, other say that this is just a show of force and to send a message that any Israeli advancement towards Gaza would be met with extreme hostility. We at FxWirePro believes that this could either be an attempt to lead to a widespread war in the Middle East involving Iran or it could be a show of force as many parties like Saudi Arabia, the United States, Russia, Israel are looking for a long-term solution in the Middle East.
