Israel attacks Gaza, killing 10 people, including a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander At least 10 people have died in Gaza in Israel’s attack. Among the dead is a top commander of a Palestinian armed group. Palestinian health officials say a child was among the dead. Dozens of people have also been injured in Israel’s attack.
Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lepid has said that the operation was launched in view of the threat of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). A PIJ member was arrested earlier this week. In response to the Israeli attack, the PIJ has fired at least 100 rockets at Israel. Most of these rockets were destroyed midway by Israel with its missile defense system Iron Dome. Sirens were heard in many cities of Israel. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has said that attacks were also carried out late Friday evening and targets of extremists were targeted.
