Zionist forces killed three senior Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza air strikes and at least nine civilians, including four children, on Tuesday, Palestinian officials said, as the Zionist military said it had launched strikes against them.
The air strikes were the latest incident in more than a year of surging violence that has seen repeated Zionist military raids and escalating settler violence in the occupied West Bank, amid a spate of Palestinian street attacks on Zionists.
Last week brought a bout of cross-border fire after the death in Zionist detention of a hunger striker from Islamic Jihad.
The Zionist military said it targeted three senior commanders of Islamic Jihad, the second most powerful resistance group in the blockaded coastal enclave, which is controlled by Hamas.
"Any terrorist who harms "Israeli" citizens will be made to regret it," said Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
