GAZA - Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza into Israel on Monday after an Israeli air strike in Damascus killed two members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.
The strikes in the Adeliyah region outside Damascus targeted what the Israeli military called “a hub of Islamic Jihad’s activity in Syria”, including the research and development of weapons. Syrian state-run al-Ikhbariya television aired footage of what it said were explosions in the Damascus night sky showing Syria’s air defense system shooting down missiles.The strike escalated a round of hostilities which began around dawn on Sunday when, Israel said, its troops killed an Islamic Jihad member who was trying to plant explosives near Israel’s border fence with the Gaza Strip.
