The voltage does not drop. The Israeli army assured on Saturday August 6 that it had “neutralized” the “military” leaders of the Islamic Jihad group in Gaza, during operations which, according to the authorities of the Palestinian enclave, killed more than 32 people, including six children. Israel also claimed to have arrested a twenty members of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad in the night from Saturday to Sunday by the Israeli security forces in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it was preparing for “one week” raids on Gaza, targeting the Islamic Jihad, which she said killed 15 fighters. On Saturday evening, Oded Basiok, the head of the Hebrew State army’s operations directorate, sent a press release to AFP in which he said that “the senior leadership of the Islamic Jihad’s military wing in Gaza has been neutralized”.
According to an updated report, the Ministry of Health in Gaza says that 32 people including six children have died in the Gaza Strip since the start of the outbreak of violence between Israel and the Islamic Jihad group. The ministry said the victims had been killed since Friday in Israeli strikes that also injured 215.
The Israeli authorities contradict this assessment and assure that Palestinian children were killed on Saturday by a failed rocket attack from Islamic Jihad towards Israel.
This new confrontation, which began on Friday, is the worst between the Jewish state and armed organizations in Gaza since the May 2021 war, which in eleven days had killed 260 Palestinians, including combatants, and 14 dead in Israel, including a soldier, according to local authorities.
