Washington DC (US), October 11(ANI): Amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, the US said that United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Israel in the coming days to engage with US’ Israeli partners about the situation and to navigate their support to Israel. While addressing a press briefing, Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said, “US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Israel in the coming days to engage our Israeli partners directly about the situation on the ground and to navigate how the US can continue to support them. The secretary looks forward to meeting with senior leaders in the Israeli government and continuing the discussions he and the president have been having with them since the initial attacks on Saturday.” Hours after issuing a warning, terrorist group Hamas launched a rocket attack at the southern coastal city of Ashkelon in Israel on October 10. As the barrage of rockets pounded the coastal city, sirens sounded in the city and other nearby towns.
