Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a visit to the United States...
MISHMERET, Israel - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a visit to the United States on Monday and the military said it dispatched reinforcements to the Gaza border after a rocket attack near Tel Aviv wounded seven people.
“In light of the security events, I have decided to cut short my visit to the United States. In a few hours, I will meet President Trump and immediately after that I will return to Israel to direct our actions close-hand.” Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service said it treated seven people, including an infant, a 3-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl and a 60-year-old woman who was suffering from blast injuries, burns and shrapnel wounds.
Jason Greenblatt, Trump’s Middle East envoy, said on Twitter: “We condemn this violence from Gaza and affirm Israel’s right to defend itself.”The attack coincided with tension ahead of the anniversary this weekend of Gaza protests that have included Palestinian attempts to breach the frontier and often lethal Israeli fire.
