WHAT HAPPENED?

On Tuesday, May 9, the Israeli army launched an attack on besieged Gaza, claiming it was targeting the leaders of the Islamic Jihad Movement.

While 33 Palestinians, including 6 children and 3 women, have been killed in the Israeli attacks, 93 Palestinians, including 32 children and 17 women, have been injured.

Six members of Islamic Jihad’s executive staff were among those killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

Palestinian groups responded to these attacks by firing more than a thousand rockets and mortar shells from Gaza towards the Israeli side.

An Israeli was killed when one of the rockets fired from Gaza hit a residential building in the city of Rehovot on May 11. (AA)
