The Complexities of Gaza Rocket Attacks and Hunger Strikes in Israel

Israel and Hamas exchanged fire overnight, killing a Palestinian man and posing a security test for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government. The limited airstrikes and cease-fire ending the hostilities have followed the usual pattern governing exchanges of fire, and Netanyahu has asserted that he will remain in control. The flare-up with Gaza has set the stage for a potential escalation, Israeli analysts say, as far-right politicians in top security positions push for a more aggressive response.
