Israel mounted air strikes on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza and deployed extra troops to the border in response to the longest-range Hamas rocket attack to cause casualties in years

The Israel Defense Forces said the office of Hamas’s political leader and the group’s military intelligence headquarters were among the targets.Gaza’s health ministry said seven people were injured in the strikes.

The Israel Defense Forces earlier blamed Hamas, which controls Gaza, for the launch of the rocket that hit the Israeli community of Mishmeret, injuring seven people.
US President Donald Trump formally recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.

US President denounced the attack as despicable and said the US “recognises Israel’s absolute right to defend itself”.So far no Palestinian militant group has said it fired the rocket. One unnamed Hamas official said it had “no interest” in doing so.
