On May 6th, Hamas and Israeli troops clashed in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes intensified. According to reports, the clashes began when Hamas militants fired anti-tank missiles at a group of Israeli military jeeps along the border between Gaza and Israel. In response, the Israeli military launched airstrikes against Hamas targets in the Gazan Strip. This has been the most intense fighting between Israel and Hamas since a security escalation began in late April. Both sides believe the other started the fighting, and there is no sign of the conflict slowing down.
