Israel bombs Gaza after Hamas responds to far-right march
By EUobserver
Israel has launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the first since a truce ended 11 days of conflict last month, in response to incendiary balloons launched from the Palestinian territory, The Guardian writes. The flare-up in violence, a first test for Israel's new government sworn in three days ago, followed a march in East Jerusalem by Jewish far-right nationalists that had drawn threats of action by Hamas.
