A pair of Israeli airstrikes targeted senior Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza and Syria, escalating Israel's confrontation with Iran and its proxies across the region and threatening to unleash another round of cross-border violence with Palestinians.
Smoke rises after an Israeli forces strike in Gaza City, Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019. Israel killed a senior Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza early Tuesday in a resumption of pinpointed targeting that threatens a fierce round of cross-border violence with Palestinian militants.
Syria’s state-run news agency said Israeli warplanes fired three missiles at al-Ajouri’s home, killing his son and granddaughter. The Israeli military had no comment. “He was in the midst of plotting additional attacks these very days. He was a ticking bomb,” Netanyahu said. Conricus said the airstrike destroyed only the floor of the building in the Shejaeya neighborhood, in eastern Gaza City, to minimize “collateral damage.”
The military said more than 50 rockets were fired in just a few hours, with 20 intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. The Mada rescue service said two people were treated for shrapnel injuries. But at midmorning, the army said it struck two Islamic Jihad militants from the group’s rocket launching unit. It claimed a direct hit but gave no further details. The Gaza Health Ministry said a Palestinian man was killed and another wounded in that strike.
The two others struck the home of al-Ajouri, the official said. Al-Ajouri’s son and granddaughter were killed. A second man identified as Abdullah Yousef Hassan was killed and nine civilians wounded, the unidentified official said according to Syrian state-media.
