According to Palestinian sources, at least eight people were killed in the attacks, including a five-year-old child, and at least 55 people were injured.

The “Islamic Jihad” announced retaliatory measures, there will be no red lines. Tel Aviv should expect attacks.

On Monday, West Bank jihadi leader Bassem Saadi was arrested during an Israeli anti-terrorist operation. A 17-year-old member of the terrorist group was killed during the arrest.

The organisation’s military arm, Saraja al-Quds, then threatened to attack. The jihad is closely linked to Israel’s archenemy Iran and regularly carries out rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip.

Since then, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and some surrounding roads. REASON: Worry about acts of revenge.

In 2019, Israel had already specifically killed jihadi military chief Baha Abu al-Ata. This was followed at the time by massive rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip on Israeli locations and counterattacks by the Israeli Air Force in the coastal strip.
