Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
“Israel regards Hamas as responsible for all events in and from the Strip,” the IDF said in a statement. Hamas’ military arm, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, fired at the Israeli fighter jets with surface-to-air missiles.
It was the first rocket attack from Gaza on Israel in four months. The attacks come as violence continues between rioting Palestinian worshippers and Israeli security forces on the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. Palestinian terror groups in Gaza have threatened to step up their actions in response to the situation in Jerusalem.
