ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel

Okay kiddo, so there are two groups of people who live in a part of the world called Israel and the Palestinian territories. They are called Israelis and Palestinians, and they sometimes have conflicts with each other.

The Palestinians sometimes use rockets to try to attack the Israelis. They shoot those rockets from a place called Gaza, which is a small strip of land that belongs to the Palestinians but is controlled by a group called Hamas.

The Israelis don't like those rocket attacks because they think it's dangerous and scary for their people. So, they have something called the Iron Dome, which is like a big shield that tries to stop the rockets from reaching the people in Israel.

But even though the Iron Dome is pretty good at stopping the rockets, some of them still make it through and can hurt people or damage buildings. Then, the Israelis get really angry and might do things to try to stop the Palestinians from firing more rockets.

Overall, it's not a good situation for anyone. It's important for both the Israelis and the Palestinians to try to find a way to live together peacefully and without violence.
