In a major escalation between Israel and Palestine…last night Israeli jets struck Gaza in retaliation for two rockets fired by Palestinian militants. This has escalated tensions in the region that was already compounded by killing of 10 Palestinians by the hand of Israeli forces. The killing of 10 Palestinians happened during the raid in Jenin... which Palestinians have described as a “massacre”. That raid left at least 20 others wounded with live ammunitions. This marks one of the bloodiest conflict in the region that has been intensifying since the start of the last year….And the city of Jenin and Nablus has become the flashpoint…and the epicenter of the recent conflict. In this video, we decode why have Israeli raids become more prominent in these two cities…and the reasons behind sudden increase in activities of the Israeli forces against Palestine. But before that, don’t forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.
