Israel-Palestine conflict intensifies amid call for truce by world powers

Israel ravaged Gaza with airstrikes and Palestinian militants continued cross-border rocket shootings on Tuesday after a short standstill throughout after the U.N. released a small gas convoy into the enclave, the place it says 52,000 people at the moment are displaced, reported Reuters.

Israeli leaders claimed that they have been rapid with an offensive to damage the capabilities of the armed factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad, after calls by America and countries across the world for an end to the conflict.

Police claimed that two Thai workers died and seven people were injured in a rocket strike on an Israeli farm just over the Gaza border. Gaza’s ruling Hamas Islamist group and Islamic Jihad secured responsibility. Rockets were also shot at the cities of Ashdod and Beersheba, further north.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated in a video clip on Twitter, “We are going to proceed so long as it takes with a view to restoring calm for all of Israel’s residents.”
