Israel conducted air strikes against four
Hamas military installations in the Gaza Strip early Saturday in reprisal for
the four-rocket salvo aimed at Israeli locations Friday. This was the
largest rocket assault from Gaza in months. Two landed on open ground and the
others fell short inside the Strip.
Tehran has warned that the
execution of the prominent Saudi Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, among 47
others put to death on New Year’s Day, would “cost Saudi Arabia dearly.”
The men executed were said to have been involved in a series of Al
Qaeda attacks from 2003-2006, and included also a number of Shiites who
were detained in violent protests against the Saudi government in the Eastern
Provinces. Several Shiite leaders in Iran, Yemen and Lebanon warn the
Saudi royal family to expect repercussions at home and across the region. In
Bahrain, police fired teargas to break up the first protest.
