An Israeli air strike in the Gaza has killed Hussam Abu Harbeed, an Islamic Jihad leader, the armed group said; and the killing on the Monday was also likely to draw a a fierce response from group that is fighting alongside Hamas, the movement that governs the Gaza Strip. The
Israeli military too said in a statement that Harbeed had been behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against the Israeli civilians. Soon after Harbeed’s killing, the Islamic Jihad said it had fired rockets at the Israeli coastal city of Ashdod. At least three Palestinians were
also killed by an Israeli air strike on a car in Gaza City on Monday, medics said, after a night of heavy Israeli air raids. Israel’s military said Gaza fighters had fired about 60 rockets towards Israeli cities overnight, down from 120 and 200 the two previous nights. Hamas said its
attacks were also in retaliation for the Israel’s ongoing aggression against the civilians and called the civilian casualties pre-meditated killing and also at least two hundred Palestinians, including 58 children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the latest violence began a week ago. More than 1,300 Palestinians were also wounded.
