As predicted in the End Times prophesies:

Dozens of rockets fired from Gaza lit up the sky, following the killing of at least 10 people in Israeli air strikes.

Militant leader Tayseer Jabari was among the dead. Israel said the strikes followed an "immediate threat" from his Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group.

A five-year-old girl in Gaza also died, local health officials said, and dozens more were injured.

PIJ responded by firing more than 100 rockets into Israel overnight "in an initial response".

Most were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defence shield, but sirens sounded in a number of Israeli cities throughout the night.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had resumed rocket strikes against multiple militant positions in Gaza, continuing the attacks into the early hours of the morning.

On Saturday, Israel said it had arrested 19 members of PIJ in raids across the West Bank.

The overnight exchange of fire marks the most serious escalation in violence since May 2021's 11-day war, which left more than 200 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis dead before a ceasefire was agreed.

Egypt, which has acted as a mediator between the two sides in the past, is reportedly offering to act as a go-between once again in a bid to prevent further escalation.

Cairo officials were preparing on Saturday to host a potential delegation of PIJ representatives as part of that process, Egyptian media said.

    The Israel-Palestinian conflict explained

Referring to the initial strike on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said: "Israel carried out a precise counter-terror operation against an immediate threat."

Meanwhile, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked said: "We don't know how this will play out... but this could take time... this could be a lengthy round [of conflict] and a hard one."

The IDF said its attacks targeted sites linked to PIJ, including the high-rise Palestine Tower in Gaza City which was hit on Friday in a loud explosion which left smoke pouring from the building.

An Israeli military spokesman estimated "about 15 militants" were killed in the operation.

Hi Random,
are you against the Israelis who are trying to defend their territory
from Islamist militants firing rockets at them?

Yes - The Israelis are not the sort of people you should fire rockets at.

Most Israeli Jews are either local to the area, or were evicted from nearby Muslim countries in celebration of the holocaust, with the long term plan of wiping them out completely. The Israelis also did not systematically evict Muslims, unless they took up arms against the state. Which is why there is a significant Arab Muslim population in Israel with more rights and freedoms than any other middle eastern country.

Nice.

And you hate Muslims.

Israel are running a Concentration Camp called Gaza.

You would think that of all the cultures on the planet, that they would understand that, but no.  Instead they are prepared to persecute a people based on their beliefs and ethnicity.  Sound familiar?

Then when those people have nothing else to do except fight back, they are blamed for attacking Israel?  Really?

Then there are people like you, who do not give a faark about women, children or anyone else if they are Muslims.

Hamas is thinking about getting involved:

But so far Hamas, the biggest militant group in the area - which has similar ideology to Islamic Jihad and often coordinates its actions with it - does not seem to be firing from its large rocket arsenal.

As a result, there are no reports of Israeli air strikes targeting Hamas.



But because it governs Gaza it has its own practical considerations which may stop it from getting more involved.
