''at least nine of the deaths in Gaza have been the result of failed rocket launches by the terror group.''

A cost of doing business waging the gee-had is the expectation that the Islamic terrorists will gee-had some of their own.

Gaza death toll hits 29; Israel: At least 9 killed by terror group’s rocket misfires

Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Strip says toll includes six children, 253 wounded; does not say how many of those killed since Friday are affiliated with Islamic Jihad terror group

The Israel Defense Forces says numerous terrorists from Palestinian Islamic Jihad are among those killed in the multiple waves of strikes that have been targeting positions and facilities belonging to the terror group in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has also said four Gaza children were killed in an Islamic Jihad rocket misfire on Saturday night. In all, Israel says at least nine of the deaths in Gaza have been the result of failed rocket launches by the terror group.

An explosion in Jabaliya on Sunday morning killed at least two people and wounded seven others, according to Palestinian media reports.

Israeli officials say air strikes on Gaza have targeted the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement rather than Hamas, the militant group which rules the enclave. What is the difference between the two groups?

The PIJ is a militant group allied with Hamas, both with a background in the Muslim Brotherhood, a shared hostility to Israel, and an ideological commitment to the creation of an Islamic Palestinian state.

But the two groups have separate identities and some differences.

Whereas Hamas leaders have made statements softening their commitment to the destruction of Israel, the smaller PIJ has made no such move and rejects any compromises with Israel.

WEST BANK

It maintains a significant presence in the West Bank town of Jenin, where Bassam al-Saadi, a senior leader of the movement was arrested last week, setting off the crisis that led to Friday’s strikes.

However its focus on militant activity means it does not have anything like the same infrastructure or responsibilities as Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, in charge of government and day-to-day needs of more than 2.3 million people.

Little more than a year since the 11-day war of May 2021, which inflicted huge damage on Gaza’s economy, Israel’s explicit focus on PIJ targets appears intended to convince Hamas to stay out of the fighting itself.

Zvika Haimovich, a former commander of the Israel Air Defense Forces who served in previous operations against Gaza in 2012 and 2014, said there were significant disagreements with PIJ that could make Hamas stay out.

“The direct immediate interest of Hamas is not to join this operation,” he said.

“If Hamas joins this operation it will change totally the situation that we are talking about.”

Meanwhile, Israel’s airstrikes on PIJ targets in Gaza have reportedly been highly successful, in what Israel calls Operation Breaking Dawn. The Times of Israel reports that the Israeli military believes it has taken out the entire leadership of PIJ.

Meanwhile, roughly one in four PIJ rockets has misfired and landed in Gaza itself, causing Palestinian deaths, including children.

Hamas leaders are exerting pressure on the Islamic Jihad organization to agree to a truce that would end the current round of fighting with Israel, Palestinian sources said on Sunday.


Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations have in the past 24 hours stepped up their efforts to reach a truce in the Gaza Strip, the sources said.

How Israel bombed Gaza’s economy?​

Bombing terror tunnels and rocket factories.....just awful!!

Don't they know those are huge sectors of Gaza's economy?

The Gaza operation was launched after several days of closures and lockdowns in Israeli communities near the Strip due to the alert of an imminent attack, with the PIJ seeking to avenge the arrest of its West Bank leader last Monday.

Israeli leaders and military officials said the operation was started because Islamic Jihad had refused to back down from its plans to attack Israeli targets close to the border.

In the opening round of Israeli strikes on Friday, the military killed one of PIJ’s senior commanders, Tayseer Jabari, whom officials said was planning to attack Israeli civilians near the border. Jabari replaced Baha Abu al-Ata as the group’s commander in northern Gaza after the latter was killed in an Israeli strike in 2019. In another major airstrike, on Saturday night Israel killed Jabari’s southern Gaza counterpart, Khaled Mansour.

How Israel bombed Gaza’s economy?​

You're confused by common terms and definitions. islamic terrorist infrastructure used to wage gee-had is not an economy.

The terrorist leaders of Hezbollah in the north and the Palestinians in the south have a strong affinity for issuing menacing equations. Nasrallah's latest was that if Lebanon doesn't get what it wants in maritime border negotiations, Israel won't be able to drill for natural gas either. Palestinian terrorists have also chimed in, warning once that "if there are riots on the Temple Mount, we will launch missiles from Gaza; and another time that "if Israel continues arresting Islamic Jihad operatives in Jenin, we will respond with anti-tank fire on citizens near Gaza."

It was enough to see the concern on the face of Islamic Jihad leader Ziad Nakhala – upon being informed during a television interview in Tehran that the IDF had launched Operation Breaking Dawn – to understand his sudden realization that his equation had shattered. The arrests in Jenin hadn't stopped, and instead of receiving his terms of surrender in the south, Israel eliminated one of his senior commanders and other terrorists in Gaza in a brilliant feint.

As the interview went on, his second trusted equation fell to pieces as well, whereby almost any time Israel attacks Gaza, all of the terrorist organizations – chief among them Hamas – rally to respond in unison. As the Islamic Jihad leader was assuring on air that "we are all coordinated and we are all in one fox hole," Hamas didn't fire one single rocket.


As of Saturday night, Islamic Jihad mouthpieces tried providing explanations to somehow conceal their two-fold embarrassment. One spokesman, according to Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen network, said the commander of Islamic Jihad's northern region in Gaza wasn't killed in his safe house due to superb intelligence acquired by Israel, but rather because he was intentionally deceived into going there by the Egyptian mediator in order "to finalize a cease-fire agreement with Israel" – implying, of course, "treasonous collaboration" between Cairo and Jerusalem.

In another statement, a spokesman said Hamas was completely in step with Islamic Jihad and a full partner in the rocket attacks against Israel, but that it was concealing this so as "not to give Israel an alibi for expanding the scope of its attacks in Gaza." It's highly doubtful there is any truth to either of these versions, but they aptly reflect Islamic Jihad's distress over being alone in this fight.

It's safe to assume that Hamas is not happy in a situation where it is being accused of sitting on the fence. On the other hand, it isn't entirely certain that it also doesn't see the "positive" aspects, from its perspective, of the Israeli offensive: putting Islamic Jihad in its place, sending it a message that it isn't allowed to plot terrorist attacks against Israel without Hamas' approval, and making it obey they joint decisions that are made only in Gaza, not in Tehran.
