On Saturday night, the head of the IDF Operations Directorate, Major General Oded Basiuk, told the press that "essentially, all of the senior officials of Gaza's Islamic Jihad have been eliminated."
He revealed that the commander of the PIJ's Rafah Brigade group, Khatab Amasi, and Mansour's deputy, Ziad Madalal, had been among those killed in the latest airstrikes conducted on the third day of Israel's Breaking Dawn anti-terrorist operation.
According to the IDF's latest update, since the operation was launched on Friday, PIJ militants have fired 580 rockets at Israel. The IDF says 97% of them were intercepted mid-air by the Iron Dome missile defense systems, while "120+ rockets landed in Gaza and killed innocent Palestinians."
Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli military accused Gaza PIJ militants of killing civilians, including six children, in the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the enclave. Saying that Israel "did not conduct any activities in Jabaliya at the time of the event," the IDF said that the tragedy "was the result of a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket."
Gaza's Health Ministry claims that the death toll among Palestinians since the beginning of Operation Breaking Dawn has reached 31.
No casualties on the Israeli side have been reported.
Tensions escalated on Monday, after Israel arrested Islamic Jihad's West Bank leader, Bassem Saadi, in a raid that killed a Palestinian teenager. The PIJ threatened retaliation as many Palestinians expressed outrage over the killing.
On Friday, the IDF launched Operation Breaking Dawn, citing the "imminent threat of attack against Israeli civilians posed by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization." The first strikes killed Taysir al-Jabari, while an additional 10-20 operatives were allegedly targeted with missiles and artillery.
I am Dekanawidah and with the Five Nations' Confederate Lords I plant the Tree of Great Peace. I plant it in your territory, Adodarhoh, and the Onondaga Nation, in the territory of you who are Firekeepers.
Why does the rest of the world tolerate the Zionist ideology?
Why should peace be proffered to the offenders? Do they deserve a cease fire?
Why do the Zionist never learn?
Why?
Why is the name of the poem and why does Israel never learn and how much longer will this broken record keep playing...
How much longer innocence ponders...how many more children need to be killed with abject cruelty?
How many more children will be used for collecting drugs of human hatefulness - once you have it no going back seems to be the case.
Is there nobody to defend innocence and why are the Zionist still calling any shots?
Why for eff sake - why!
I suspect they think they are the only ones who can teach a lesson and I suspect they are wrong.
Place your bets...
Before the end of the year Israel will be re-imagined, and after that it will better for everyone excepting....
the Zionist who never learned how to learn.
