Rocket from Gaza kills Armenian woman in Israel

Armenia –
– 14:57 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – A member of the Armenian community in Israel was killed when a rocket fired from Gaza hit a building in the central Israeli city of Rehovot, Artyom Chernamorian, the president of Nairi Union of Israeli-Armenians of Petah Tikva, said on social media Friday, May 12.

80-year-old pensioner Inga Abrahamyan was killed by the rocket explosion in her 3-story house. Her husband, meanwhile, was among 12 people who were injured in the blast.

Chernamorian said that since 2008, the Armenian community had had no victims in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

According to a report from the BBC, it was the first fatality in Israel since it began an operation against PIJ on Tuesday morning with a series of air strikes that killed another three of the group’s commanders.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
