In response to rocket fire, Israel has launched airstrikes on Gaza as tensions rise following a deadly army assault in the occupied West Bank.

According to Israeli claims, six missiles were fired, and Israel responded by hitting what it claimed were militant facilities. No one on either side was reported to have been injured.

After nine Palestinians were murdered in the Jenin raid, which Israel said was carried out to stop “imminent terrorist acts,” militants threatened to retaliate.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), two rockets were fired about midnight (2:00 GMT) on Thursday but were shot down by Iron Dome, Israel’s anti-rocket system.

Airstrikes were then launched against what the IDF claimed was a “underground missile manufacturing complex” in the central Gaza Strip that belonged to the region’s ruling Islamist militant organization, Hamas.

Hours later, the military reported, a second salvo of rockets was fired, landing in open terrain, being shot down, or returning to Gaza.

After that, Israel struck a location in the northern Gaza Strip that it claimed was “a significant center of Hamas terrorist activities.”

Although Israel deems Hamas accountable for all strikes coming from Gaza, no one claimed responsibility for the missile attacks.

Following the bloodiest event of its sort in years, where Israeli forces invaded Jenin in the West Bank to detain an Islamic Jihad “terror squad,” there was a nighttime exchange.

The IDF said that its actions were based on “precise intelligence” regarding the cell’s plans to target Israelis.

An heated gun battle broke out in a building in the city’s urban refugee camp. Israel claimed that after opening fire, three armed suspects were “neutralized,” and a fourth suspect turned himself in.

The IDF claimed that when Palestinian gunmen fired at its soldiers, they retaliated by striking their targets.

The terrorist Palestinian Islamic Jihad group and Hamas claimed that their members had used improvised explosive devices and gunfire to target the soldiers.

Two civilians, including a 61-year-old lady, were among those killed, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Additionally, twenty people were hurt, four of them critically, it claimed.

The Palestinian president declared it has ceased coordination with Israel on security issues after accusing Israel of a “massacre.”

Palestinian officials reported that a tenth Palestinian was shot and killed in the midst of a protest against the Jenin raid by locals in the village of al-Ram, close to Jerusalem.

Israeli troops have murdered at least 30 Palestinians in the West Bank so far this year, both militants and civilians, as they continue their operations there.

More than 150 Palestinians were slain in the West Bank last year, almost all of them by Israeli forces. Unarmed victims, terrorist gunmen, and armed assailants were all among the deceased.

These attacks also included terrorist gunfire directed at troops during arrest raids.
