At least 10 civilians ant three Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders killed in Israeli attack on Tuesday
Through Egyptian mediators, Israel has relayed that it is solely targeting Islamic Jihad, with whom tensions have flared since the death on hunger strike of Khader Adnan, a prominent political figure affiliated with Islamic Jihad in Israeli custody.
A joint statement from the factions claiming responsibility for the barrage of fire from Gaza described it as a “broad response”, but Israeli officials appear to be hoping that Hamas does not want to risk a return to full-scale conflict. “Our actions are meant to prevent further escalation,” Rear Adm Danny Hagari, the Israeli military’s chief spokesperson, said in a briefing with journalists. “Israel is not interested in war.”
