In West Bank raid, 2 Palestinians were killed.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported 33 Palestinians killed — six of them children — and over 147 wounded.
“We have no rocket launching pads at all. This is a residential area,” said Awni Obaid, beside the debris of what was his three-story house in the central town of Deir al-Balah. Islamic Jihad has retaliated by firing a thousand rockets toward southern and central Israel. On Friday, the group escalated its assaults and fired rockets toward Jerusalem, setting off air raid sirens in the Israeli settlements south of the contested capital. Most of the rockets have fallen short or been intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system.
