This Friday night, a terrorist carried out an attack on the popular seafront in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel, causing the death of a civilian and leaving at least 5 injured.
According to the Israeli government, the terrorist shot and ran over several people who were walking around the place.
A 35-year-old man from Italy was murdered in the attack and 5 other people were injured.
Hours earlier, two British-Israeli sisters, ages 16 and 20, were killed in another attack, meaning that in the past 24 hours at least three people have been killed in terrorist acts.
The events take place in the midst of a conflict that is escalating every day in the Gaza Strip, a territory that borders Israel and southern Lebanon.
The Israeli army has just reported that it has attacked targets related to the Palestinian organization Hamas in southern Lebanon and throughout the Gaza Strip.
The offensive occurred after a rocket barrage against Israeli territory, in which the Israel Defense Forces ?IDF? They indicated that targets including "terrorist infrastructures belonging to Hamas in southern Lebanon" were identified.
Tensions escalated after Israeli police raided Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque on several consecutive nights earlier this week, all in the midst of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims.
While Hamas said it had no information about who fired the missiles from Lebanon, the extremist group's head, Ismail Haniyeh, who was in Lebanon when the rockets were fired, said the Palestinians will not "sit idly by" at the Israeli aggression.
Given this, the IDF affirmed that they will not allow Hamas to operate from Lebanon and held the government of that country responsible for each attack directed from its territory. Israeli warplanes also intensified airstrikes in Gaza. Around 20 missiles hit four places in 10 minutes.
"We will hit our enemies and they will pay a price for all acts of aggression," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised message after an urgent meeting with his security cabinet.
Although he asked to calm tensions, he assured that his government "will act decisively against extremists who use violence."
For his part, the Lebanese Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, condemned any military operation from his territory that "destabilizes the situation."
The attack was the largest single bombardment of Israel's northern neighbor in 17 years.
