Rocket from the Gaza Strip kills an Israeli man amid a massive wave of attacks, marking the first Israeli casualty from rocket fire since the 2014 war with Hamas militants.
Damage is seen in a residential area after it was hit a by a rocket fired from Gaza in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, Israel, Sunday, May 5, 2019. An early morning rocket from the Gaza Strip killed an Israeli man Sunday outside a home in the coastal city of Ashkelon, marking the first Israeli casualty from rocket fire since the 2014 war with Hamas militants.
However, military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said Sunday a detailed review had found that a Palestinian rocket had misfired and killed the two civilians. He said the Palestinians were “trying to sell a story that isn’t true.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas was paying a “heavy price” for its rocket attacks against Israel and that it would be held accountable not only for its own militant actions but also for that of the Islamic Jihad, which operates under its jurisdiction in Gaza.
Israel has vowed to hit back hard against both Hamas and Islamic Jihad, whom it suspects of triggering the current conflagration. But, as in similar previous rounds where it stopped short of a full-fledged war, the timing for a prolonged round of fighting is tricky for Israel.
