Islamic Jihad said its fighters fired rockets toward several Israeli communities near the Gaza fence
Militant group Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of rockets into Israel on Monday as fighting raged in Gaza and Israel i tanks advanced deeper in parts of the enclave, residents and officials said.
“For your safety, you must evacuate immediately to the humanitarian zone,” army spokesperson Avichay Adraee posted on social media platform X in a call to residents and displaced people living in those areas. Violence also flared on Monday in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where the Palestinian health ministry said a woman and a boy were killed in the city of Tulkarm during an operation by Israeli forces. A day earlier, an Israeli strike in the same area killed an Islamic Jihad member.
The Israeli military announced the death of a soldier in southern Gaza without providing details. Israel’s Army Radio said the soldier was killed in Rafah in a booby-trapped house – a possible reference to the incident reported by Islamic Jihad. The offensive launched by Israel in retaliation has killed nearly 38 ,000 people, according to the Gaza health ministry, and has left the heavily built-up coastal enclave in ruins.
