Hamas militants responded to Israeli air strikes in two Gaza refugee camps by firing a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv. The Israeli campaign, described as a response to a massive assault by Hamas on October 7, targeted what Hamas claims were civilian areas in Al-Shati and Jabalia camps. The strikes resulted in casualties and destruction, with Hamas condemning the acts as massacres. The cycle of violence escalates in the already tense region, as the conflict continues to claim lives and intensify hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
