The Israeli Embassy in Tbilisi claims it is grateful to Georgian friends for their heartfelt expressions of support and solidarity.

“Millions of Israeli civilians are currently sitting in shelters, worried about their families and friends. We pray that violence will end soon and peace prevails,” Embassy stated.

Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have escalated further as Palestinian militants in Gaza fired hundreds of rockets towards Tel Aviv this morning after an Israeli airstrike destroyed an office tower in Gaza.

Israeli bombing raids across Gaza have killed at least 35 people, including 12 children, 220 people have been injured.

Earlier today, Israel has declared a state of emergency in the central city of Lod.
