Palestinian terrorism

Kosovo's Foreign Ministry has sparked mixed reactions among experts and on social media with a statement strongly in support of Israel, following the latest escalation between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.

Palestinian officials in Gaza say Sunday was the deadliest day since the current fighting with Israel began.

More than 40 people were killed in the latest Israeli air strikes on Gaza, officials there say.

Israel's army say Palestinian militants have fired more than 3,000 rockets at Israel over the past week.

But that country states that there was no ground troops offensive.
The clashes entered the fifth day, with no signs of easing, the Israeli military said after midnight, after ground troops had previously attacked the area held by the Hamas movement, Reuters reports.
The rocketing from Gaza to Israel followed very quickly.

The Israeli military has intensified its assault on Gaza, as Palestinian militants continue to fire rockets into Israel on the fifth day of hostilities.

Israel's army said air and ground forces were involved in attacks on Friday but had not entered Gaza.

A BBC reporter in Gaza said there was heavy shelling involving gunboats, fighter jets and helicopters.

With Israel now also threatening an all-out invasion of Gaza, Palestinian citizens living in the Balkans and some local Muslims have taken to the streets to accuse Israel of aggression.

On Wednesday, around a hundred Palestinians demonstrated in Belgrade's Republic Square displaying or shouting slogans such as, "Liberate Palestine", "Freedom to Jerusalem" and "Stop killing children".

Clashes continue today, with at least 35 killed in Gaza and five in Israel.
Palestinian forces have confirmed that they fired hundreds of missiles at Tel Aviv after an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli army said it was targeting militants in Gaza in response to rocket attacks on Jerusalem and other areas, Reuters reports.

The violence escalated on Monday night after Palestinian militants fired rockets toward Jerusalem.

In response, the Israeli military launched air strikes against militant targets in the Gaza Strip.

He announced a sharp response.
"We will not tolerate attacks on our territory, on our capital, our citizens and soldiers. Whoever attacks us will pay dearly," Netanyahu pointed out, AP reports.
He stated that the fights will continue for some time.

Turkey on April 16 called on Israel to cease its aggressive policies against Palestinians.

A statement by the Foreign Ministry said that such policies damage peace and stability in the region, adding: "It is worrying that Israel's policies of oppression and violence against the Palestinians escalated during Ramadan."

The International Criminal Court prosecutor said on Wednesday her office will formally investigate war crimes in the Palestinian Territories, a move welcomed by the Palestinian Authority and denounced by Israel.

The decision follows a ruling by the court on Feb. 5 that it has jurisdiction in the case, prompting swift rejections by Washington and Jerusalem.
