In three days, the exchanges of fire have killed 28 people in the Palestinian territory and one in Israel. One person was killed Thursday in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, and several wounded after a rocket landed on a residential building.
The deadly violence, the largest between Gaza and Israel since August 2022, began Tuesday with Israeli strikes on Palestinian territory, targeting Islamic Jihad. The Israeli military said it had targeted 166 targets across the Gaza Strip, including rocket launching sites belonging to the armed group, and eliminated two of its commanders.
