JERUSALEM, Feb 2 — Israel intercepted a rocket fired from Gaza Wednesday, the army said, in the latest outbreak of unrest that came a day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged calm during a visit to the region.
That attack on the Jewish Sabbath was the deadliest targeting Israeli civilians in more than a decade and was celebrated by many Palestinians in Gaza and across the West Bank, where bloodshed is also rising. The delegation would meet with head of Egypt’s intelligence service to discuss “how to restore calm, especially after the last escalation, including the aggressions against prisoners”, said Daoud Shihab, a senior Islamic Jihad member in Gaza.
The escalating violence has affected much of the West Bank, including Jericho, a tourist destination near Jerusalem that has remained largely peaceful in recent years. An AFP correspondent said cars backed up at entrances to the city, with checks to get in and out of the city often taking hours.
