After the death of one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad in Palestine on Friday August 5, a response aimed at Israel took place. The Israeli government says it is ready to do anything to defend its people.

The explosion of a new rocket shook the earth on Saturday August 6, a few meters from passers-by and journalists. The missile hit a house, which immediately collapsed. The Gaza Strip is shelled by the Israeli army. This preventive operation does not target the whole of the people of Gaza, according to the Jewish state: “Israel is conducting a counterterrorism operation in the face of an immediate threat. Islamic Jihad is a mercenary state of Iran that wants to destroy our state and kill innocent Israelis. We will do whatever it takes to defend our people“.

The Islamic Jihad is a Palestinian group, one of whose leaders was killed Friday by an Israeli strike. An attack decided by Israel after having arrested one of the leaders of the radical organization in the West Bank, a few days ago. 15 fighters were killed, according to Israel. The Gaza authorities, they report 11 dead, including a five-year-old girl, and nearly a hundred injured in hospitals in the territory. For its part, the Islamic Jihad claims to have launched a hundred rockets on Israel, without causing any casualties.
