IDF tanks and helicopters began attacking terrorist targets belonging to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip, managing to destroy an Islamic Jihad attack tunnel entering Israel from the southern part of the strip, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported on Saturday.
“The resistance is always ready to respond to the crimes of the occupation,” the Hamas Spokesperosn in Gaza said, while the Islamic Jihad claimed that “We are committed to protecting our people and to deter Israel at all costs and under all circumstances.”
Islamic Jihad Deputy Khalil al-Hayya added that “There is no escape but that the occupation will be committed to understandings and to break the siege. The resistance has tools capable of forcing Israel to maintain the understandings reached.” The Islamic Jihad leader Baha Abu al-Ata was invited to Cairo and immediately left Gaza through the Rafah border crossing. Israel has threatened to kill Abu al-Ata more than once, since he is responsible for the launching of many rockets into Israeli territory.
Since the beginning of the weekend, five Palestinians have been killed according to Palestinian sources.
One Hamas member was killed by IDF strikes targeting rocket launchers on Saturday, while two Hamas members had been killed when Israel bombed one of its positions in central Gaza on Friday, Hamas confirmed.
Later on Friday, two Palestinians shot by Israeli troops while taking part in weekly protests along the border died of their wounds, Gaza health officials said.
