Rocket fire after Israel kills Islamic Jihad leader
Footage from Gaza City showed a building being hit by rocket fire early on Tuesday, with flames and smoke rising from the explosion.
Earlier on Tuesday the Israeli military said it had struck a Gaza City house, in a separate strike targeting a commander from the Islamic Jihad group in a resumption of pinpointed killing.
Tel Aviv announced that the commander, Abu Al-Atta, had been killed in an airstrike on a residential building in Gaza's Shejaia district late on Monday. The strike killed at least one other person, reportedly a woman, and wounded two others, according to Reuters.
“Abu Al-Atta was responsible for most of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's activity in the Gaza Strip and was a ticking bomb,” the IDF said in a statement, adding that Al-Atta had plans to launch “imminent terror attacks through various means.”
