Israel and militants in Gaza traded military operations Tuesday night leaving several dead. The conflict extended to Tel Aviv, which came under fire from a barrage of rockets launched from Gaza. Air raid sirens sounded across the city.
Hamas said it launched a total of 130 rockets in response to Israel’s destruction of a high-rise building earlier in the evening. One rocket struck a bus in the central city of Holon.

"This campaign will take time, with determination, unity and strength," Netanyahu said.

"And U.S. officials in recent weeks have spoken candidly with Israeli officials about how evictions of Palestinian families who have lived for years, sometimes decades in their homes and of demolitions of these homes work against our common interests in achieving a solution to the conflict in the coming days, as Muslims gather with family and friends to celebrate Eid and Dawn together to mark the beginning of Shabbat, let us affirm that all people of faith deserve to enjoy these important celebrations without fear of violence."
