GAZA/RAMALLAH, West Bank - Israel’s air force hit Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza for a second day running on Wednesday, as areas around the enclave braced for a response from the armed Palestinian faction.
“We have no intention of waiting until they launch ,” Israeli security Cabinet minister Avi Dichter told Kan radio. “If launches can be prevented or disrupted, if launch crews can be hit - all of this ultimately creates deterrence.” Mr Dawoud Shehab, an Islamic Jihad spokesperson, said the group would inevitably retaliate, and the delay was “tactical”.
Earlier, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians who opened fire on them in Qabatiya, in the occupied West Bank. Islamic Jihad claimed the two as members.
