Three people were killed and others were injured on Tuesday in an Israeli bombardment on Gaza that also disrupted the study and closed the crossings, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the current round of bombing in Gaza may take time this time, adding that the leader of the «Jihad» Baha Abu al-Atta, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza, was planning a new operation. The escalation coincided with a binding decision by the European Court of Justice to refer to Israeli settlement products.

In Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire on Tuesday, including the military commander of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, Baha Abu al-Atta.

Ashraf al-Qidra, a spokesman for the ministry, wrote on Twitter, that «the outcome of the Israeli escalation on Tuesday amounted to three martyrs and 18 wounded differently». The dead included Abu al-Atta and his wife.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the current round of Gaza bombing could take time this time, adding that the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza, was planning a new attack.

"Bahaa Abu al-Atta was the driving force behind the recent attacks against Israel and was a time bomb," he said.

The Israeli army called in reserve soldiers, brought in more tanks to the perimeter of Gaza, completely closed the sea area and prevented fishing, in a new escalation targeting the Gaza Strip.

In return, the PA presidency condemned the assassination of Abu al-Atta.

"The Presidency condemned the ongoing Israeli crime against our people in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the death of 3 people, including a citizen and his wife, and the injury of his children after targeting their house in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City," the presidency said in a statement.

The Presidency held the "occupation government full responsibility and the consequences of the deterioration of the situation in the Gaza Strip," demanding "the international community to oblige the Israeli government to stop the aggression immediately and the need to provide urgent protection for our people in all places of existence."

In addition, the European Union called for an end to the escalation "quickly and completely", after the heightened tension between Israel and the Gaza Strip, in the wake of air strikes and rocket fire operations between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Meanwhile, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on Tuesday welcomed the EU Supreme Court's decision to legalize Israeli goods produced in settlements in the occupied West Bank or the occupied Syrian Golan, which are exported to EU countries.

In a press statement, Secretary General of the PLO Executive Committee Saeb Erekat called on all European countries to implement the legal and political obligations arising from the resolution.

"Our claims are not limited to the correct marking of the certificate of origin of illegal colonial settlement products, but the prohibition of these products from international markets," Erekat said.

"This provision should remind the international community and prompt it to hold Israel accountable for its systematic violations of international humanitarian law and UN resolutions, including Security Council Resolution 2334, as a prerequisite for maintaining a political process conducive to ending the occupation and establishing a just and lasting peace in our region," he said. .
