0:58Now PlayingFighting between Israel and militants in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip raged on Tuesday, with Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz saying his military has “thousands more attack targets” as unrest again spread to the West Bank.
Two foreign workers were killed by a mortar barrage fired from Gaza that slammed into a plant in southern Israel, bringing the overall death toll inside Israel to 12. The Israeli military kept up its airstrikes on the tiny Palestinian enclave, where Gaza Health Ministry officials say 213 people have been killed, including dozens of civilians.
Israel’s Arab citizens and Palestinians in Israeli-occupied territories went on strike to protest the onslaught in Gaza and Israel’s conduct in Jerusalem. The holy city is at the heart of conflicting sovereignty claims, and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces there prefaced the war that broke out May 10.
Thousands turned out for protests across several West Bank cities, and a Palestinian man was killed in skirmishes with the Israeli military. More than 70 were wounded, according to the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry.
Israel’s Channel 12 also reported clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces at Damascus Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City.
