Israel faces highest ever rate of rocket attacks: army

13 Sept 09:13 Key points summarised by AI

Israel's army reported the highest-ever rate of rocket attacks on its territory, with approximately 3,000 rockets fired from Gaza by Hamas and other armed groups in a single week.
This intense barrage surpassed the pace of previous escalations, including the 2019 conflict with Islamic Jihad and the 2006 war against Hezbollah.
The week-long conflict, ignited by unrest in East Jerusalem, has led to a significant death toll, with 181 reported in Gaza and 10 in Israel.
Pope Francis condemned the 'terrible and unacceptable' loss of innocent lives, including children, while the International Committee of the Red Cross urged world leaders to exert maximum influence to halt the hostilities.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
