Many Palestinians are praising Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel, seeing in the attack a rare moment of forceful response to the country’s months-long assault on Gaza, according to Reuters.“For the first time, we saw some rockets that didn’t land in our areas,” said Abu Abdallah, 32, a Gaza resident who spoke to the media using a pseudonym. “These rockets were going into the occupied Palestine… We are hopeful that if Iran or any other country enters the war a solution for Gaza might be nearer than ever.”A flurry of drones and rockets swept across Israeli territory Saturday in an unprecedented direct strike from Iran’s military on Israel. Israel claimed that, with the support of US and UK forces, it was able to intercept the majority of the strikes.But video on social media appeared to show a significant attack on Israel’s Ramon military airbase in the Negev desert. The Nevatim airbase was also reportedly struck as well as an alleged intelligence site in the occupied Golan Heights.
