Israeli Defense Minister Beni Gantz said that if the shelling continues, the country will stop providing support to the Palestinians, which is designed to ease their economic situation. This is reported on Saturday, May 15, The Jerusalem Post.

Gantz said that Israel is not interested in continuing the conflict. However, he said that the state is ready to act on any scenario. The minister noted that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) continues to conduct operations in the West Bank.

Earlier in the day, the Israeli Air Force struck and destroyed the home of a Hamas leader. At the same time, the military also attacked a group of Hamas radicals who planned to launch a drone with explosives.

Also on that day, Gaza struck the city of Ramat Gan, killing one person.

On May 15, four Israeli rockets destroyed the 11-story Al-Jal building in the Gaza Strip, which housed the offices of a number of world media outlets, including the office of the Associated Press. The Israeli military on the same day said that, according to their data, the tower was used by Hamas for military purposes. The head of the Associated Press, Gary Pruitt, stressed on May 15 that the agency is "shocked and frightened" by this strike.

Austrian Ambassador Hanna Liko said on Saturday that a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip exploded near the Austrian embassy in Ramat Gan.


The escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict occurred in early May. Then the Israeli authorities began to evict several Arab families in East Jerusalem, followed by protests and riots.

On May 10, the radical group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, intervened in the situation. Israel refused to comply with its demands. Then the members of the movement started firing at the territory of the country from rocket launchers.
