Israeli airstrikes target Islamic Jihad in Gaza, causing casualties.
Israeli forces targeted the Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza, killing the head of its military wing and other senior leaders. Israeli residents near Gaza were instructed to enter bomb shelters amid fears of reprisal attacks. The bombings came days after Gazan terrorists led by Islamic Jihad fired nearly 3 dozen rockets toward Israel. The airstrikes are similar to one in August 2022, which set off a three-day blitz of rocket salvos and reprisal attacks.
