Gazans say reported Israeli strike on Iran ‘just a show’

RAFAH, Apr 19: Gazans in the besieged southern city of Rafah told AFP they believed Israels reported strike against Iran on Friday was little more than a show -- and called for peace in the region.

"As everybody knows, this is all staged and agreed upon in advance from both sides," resident Alaa Abu Taha said.
"If someone wants to strike, they don give prior warning or threaten before."
Irans state media reported explosions in the central province of Isfahan as US media quoted American officials saying Israel had carried out retaliatory strikes on its arch-rival.

Israel had warned it would hit back after Iran fired missiles and drones at Israel almost a week ago, which in itself was a retaliation for a deadly strike on April 1 on Irans consulate building in Syria, widely blamed on Israel.    —AFP
