Israel hits Hamas targets as Gaza militants fire rockets
13 Sept 18:20Key points summarised by AI
Israeli aircraft struck Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while Palestinian militants launched rockets into Israel, marking a third consecutive night of hostilities.
The escalation follows heightened tensions from the escape of six Palestinian prisoners from an Israeli jail—four of whom have been recaptured—and stalled Egyptian-brokered truce negotiations.
Amid the violence, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is visiting Egypt to discuss a long-term truce, while Foreign Minister Yair Lapid proposed a new plan for international investment in Gaza in exchange for de-escalation.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow advises Thai nationals in Europe to avoid protest areas and reconsider non-essential travel, citing widespread unrest in countries like France, Italy, and Spain.
The warning comes as demonstrations escalate, with some turning violent, prompting concerns for safety and leading to an emergency Cabinet meeting in Italy and a proposed postponement of diplomatic talks.
Thai embassies and the Department of Consular Affairs issue advisories, urging citizens to monitor local developments, follow official announcements, and register their travel details for assistance, while emphasizing that no Thais have been directly affected yet.
