tensions escalate between Israel and Islamic Jihad

One of the leaders of Islamic Jihad was killed in Gaza on Friday August 5 by an Israeli strike. “For the moment, the tension does not fall. We are here in Ashdod, a large Israeli city, just a few kilometers from the Gaza Strip. Here we heard, less than two hours ago, the rocket warnings“, explains journalist Lucas de Villepin, live, Saturday August 6, from Ashdod (Israel).

“Rocket alerts also sounded for the first time since the escalation began in Tel Aviv (Israel), in the early afternoon. In all, nearly 400 rocket fires were counted. These Islamic Jihad shots were almost all intercepted by the Israeli army’s anti-missile system“, specifies the journalist. For his part, “the Israeli army continues its raids on the Gaza Strip”, continues Lucas de Villepin. A ceasefire proposal was officially rejected by Islamic Jihad on the evening of Saturday August 6.
