Israel and Hamas exchange over 150 rockets and 140 air strikes

Israel has launched air strikes that hit over 140 military targets on Gaza after Hamas militants fired over 150 rockets into Israel.

Former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren urged Israel to begin another operation in Gaza.

“It is inconceivable that Israeli citizens spend the night in reinforced rooms while Hamas commanders are walking freely,” Oren wrote on a tweet Thursday morning.

“I call for a return of Operation Protective Edge immediately!”
