Middle East: new night under palpable tension

Within seconds, the strike reached its target on Syrian soil. The Israeli army broadcasts images of its own bombardments. It justifies this action in retaliation for six rocket attacks in the night against its territory. In footage, Israeli soldiers search for the rest of the projectiles. On the morning of April 9, 15,000 people gathered at the Western Wall for a traditional Passover prayer. A prayer that took place under close surveillance.

140,000 Israelis demonstrate

“People weren’t afraid to come. They’re praying, they’re together and that’s really the most important thing“, thinks a woman. Several dozen faithful Jews, for whom the place of the Wailing Wall is sacred, went there under police escort. No incidents were reported. In Tel Aviv (Israel) last night, despite the attacks of the last few days, 140,000 Israelis came to demonstrate against the government’s judicial reform.
