[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] The Israeli military bombed Hamas facilities in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian armed faction, AP News reported on the 24th (local time).

The Israeli military announced that 36 rocket shells were fired from the Gaza Strip early that morning, and six of them were intercepted.

In response to the rocket attacks, the Israeli military deployed fighter jets and helicopters to bomb Hamas military facilities within the Gaza Strip.

No casualties were reported from the rockets launched from the Gaza Strip.

AP explained that this rocket attack occurred amid ongoing violent clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.

The clashes between protesters and police intensified on the night of the 22nd when hundreds of Palestinians threw stones and bottles at the police.

The police fired water cannons and stun grenades to disperse the protesters.

AP reported that dozens of Palestinians were injured during the protest suppression.

Israeli police claimed to have arrested 44 protesters and that 20 police officers were injured in the process.

Israel, the United States, and the European Union (EU) designate Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Despite agreeing to a ceasefire last August mediated by Qatar, Israel and Hamas have continued to engage in armed conflicts.

On the 16th, the Israeli military also conducted airstrikes against Hamas in retaliation for rocket attacks.

Approximately 2 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip.
