Israeli attacks continue in Gaza

As Israel’s airstrikes on the blockaded Gaza Strip continue for a fifth day, Palestinian armed groups are responding by firing rockets in the direction of Israel.

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes against some houses in various parts of Gaza tonight. While 3 buildings were completely destroyed in the attacks, some residences were directly targeted and damaged.

The Palestinian authorities have not yet ruled on whether there were any deaths or injuries in the latest attacks. In a written statement made by the Israeli army, it was claimed that targets belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement were hit in the airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

In the statement, it was noted that some of the underground rocket positions belonging to the Jerusalem Military Wing, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, were hit.
