[Depo] @ Cselites.com Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 The Israeli military has killed two Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders in air strikes in Gaza during a third day of fighting with militants there. A pre-dawn attack on an apartment in Khan Younis killed the head of PIJ's rocket launching force and two others, who the military said were militants. In the afternoon, his deputy was killed in a strike in a nearby town. Later, one man was killed when a rocket fired from Gaza hit a building in the central Israeli city of Rehovot. 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. Twenty-eight people have been killed and 93 injured in Gaza over the same period, health officials there say. At least 10 civilians are also among the dead, which the United Nations has called unacceptable. The Israeli military said four people, including three children, were killed in Gaza by rockets falling short on Wednesday, though this has not been corroborated by Palestinian sources. PIJ denied the allegation and accused Israel of trying to evade responsibility for their deaths. Militants have launched at least 547 rockets and mortars since Wednesday, with 394 crossing into Israeli territory, according to the Israeli military. Some have hit homes, but most have landed in open areas or been intercepted. Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-65553728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
