Israel and Gaza exchange airstrikes and rocket fire.

Palestinian terrorists in Gaza launched rockets at southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv, while the Israeli military targeted Islamic Jihad rocket launching sites across the coastal enclave. The IDF carried out a drone strike against Islamic Jihad members in a vehicle who were heading to a rocket launch site near Khan Younis. The military's operation, dubbed Shield and Arrow, is solely focused on Islamic Jihad. The strikes on Wednesday brought the Palestinian death toll of Israel’s operation, which began early Tuesday morning, to 19.
