Police moved to suppress the unrest with stun grenades, tear gas, and rubber bullets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA short time ago, hundreds of rioters began throwing stones at the Mughrabi Bridge. Following this, police commission Yaakov Shabti ordered police forces stationed at the scene to enter the Temple Mount and to push the rioters back, using crowd dispersal methods.

The military said the Iron Dome had a successful interception rate of over 90 percent of projectiles heading toward populated areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/israel-strikes-back-military-strikes-130-palestinian-terrorist-targets-in-response-to-rocket-attacks\">reports<\/a>, \u201cthe Iron Dome did not intercept all rockets as several hit civilian targets in Israel, injuring dozens, with some early estimates putting the number as high as 31.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) then responded. \u201cOvernight, in response to continuous rocket fire from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory, the IDF struck over 130 terror targets belonging to terror organizations in the Gaza Strip,\u201d the IDF announced.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s reasonable to agree or disagree with Israel\u2019s response. However, it is fundamentally unreasonable to disagree with the fact that Israel\u2019s actions were a <em>response<\/em> to prior actions.<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, Palestinians rioted, Palestinians fired rockets targeting Israeli civilians, and the Israeli military targeted those firing the rockets.<\/p>\n<p>If this was any other conflict on earth, the reporting would likely have followed this timeline. As is common, however, this chronological culpability was erased by media outlets to further imply a moral equivalence between the actions of the Israeli military and the terrorist organization that runs the Gaza Strip, Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east-57066275\">Death toll mounts as Israel-Gaza violence escalates<\/a>,\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east-57053074\">Jerusalem violence: Deadly air strikes hit Gaza after rocket attacks<\/a>,\u201d reported the BBC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/middle-east-israel-jerusalem-076a9ec7e2bd9c065882c64a4ab820a1\">The Associated Press<\/a> went with, \u201cGaza militants, Israel trade new rocket fire and airstrikes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/israel-jerusalem-violence-palestinians-wounded-2021-05-10\/\">CBS News<\/a> reported, \u201cIsrael strikes Gaza, Hamas fires rockets after hundreds of Palestinians wounded in clashes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/israel-palestinian-fighting-worsens\/2021\/05\/11\/a1886c9a-b1c6-11eb-bc96-fdf55de43bef_story.html\">The Washington Post<\/a> chose, \u201cAfter Jerusalem erupts, deadly strikes and clashes spread across Israel and the Palestinian territories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/05\/11\/world\/middleeast\/israel-gaza-airstrikes.html\">The New York Times<\/a>? \u201cIsrael Hits Gaza With Airstrikes as Hamas Increases Rocket Fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, these are the supposedly \u201cobjective\u201d outlets, while Leftist publications were less subtle. \u201cNine Children Killed as Israel Hammers Gaza With New Airstrikes, Says Report\u201d from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/nine-children-killed-as-israel-hammers-gaza-with-new-airstrikes-says-report\">The Daily Beast<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Chronology is fundamentally important to any news story.
