Nearly after seven years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues. Palestinian militant group Hamas and other militant groups are launching innumerable rockets from Gaza City to Palestine and from Palestine to Gaza City.
Israel launched a wild military operation on Gaza on Wednesday to destroy as many as 10 senior Hamas soldiers and overthrow a couple of high-rise towers that contain Hamas installations in several airstrikes.
Two apartments in the Gaza Strip have collapsed in the airstrikes. Many of the tallest buildings in central Gaza have been bombed by Israeli warplanes. The death toll in Gaza has risen to 48 since Monday according to the health ministry.

As hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians continue, Hamas militants in Gaza have launched more than 1,050 rockets and mortar shells at Israel since sunset on Monday.
Israel says it has intercepted nearly 500 rockets with the help of the Iron Dome. An advanced air Defence system that protects Israel.
And also added that 200 of them were fired back at Gaza City. The army also stated that it has shot down a drone flying towards them from Gaza.
What is the Iron Dome?
Usually, small-range rockets and mortars are used to destroy enemy bases at short distances. Enemies do not have enough time to deal with such things as the distance is short. The Iron Dome is a system that detects such dangers in advance and destroys them.
It was introduced in 2011 by Israeli Rafael Defence Systems with the help of the United States.
How it works
The entire system consists of radars, software, and rocket launcher batteries. As soon as the rocket launches into the Gaza Strip, the radar detects it and sends information about it to the software system.
Detects where the target rocket will land and sends a counterattack to destroy the rocket.
The rocket will not launch if the missile is likely to fall in a deserted area but If it is likely to fall on inhabited areas the system will launch a rocket and blow up the enemy rocket in a gallon.
The iron dome has a 90 percent success rate and has protected Israel so far.
