Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids on Palestinian positions in the Gaza Strip at dawn yesterday, despite a shaky ceasefire agreement that came into effect two days ago.
In detail, Palestinian eyewitnesses reported that Israeli aircraft attacked with a large number of rockets several different locations in the northern Gaza Strip, pointing out that the explosions sounded violently in the northern Gaza Strip and Gaza City.
Despite a fragile truce agreement that came into effect two days ago, sources said that Israeli raids hit sites of Palestinian factions in Gaza. The raids also targeted Hamas positions, including a police headquarters in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, IOF warplanes targeted six rockets at the Beit Lahiya site of the Qassam Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israeli aircraft also targeted several missiles at the Hittin site, which is affiliated to the Saraya in the northern Gaza Strip.
For its part, the Israeli occupation army said that two rockets fired from the Gaza Strip towards the cover settlements, were intercepted yesterday by the Iron Dome, while alarms were fired in the southern city of Beersheba, after the entry into force of a ceasefire between Israel and Islamic Jihad on Thursday.
Journalists from Agence France-Presse confirmed the Israeli strikes, and spoke of a response from the Gaza Strip.
Last Tuesday, the Israeli army launched a series of strikes, he said, targeting members of the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza.
"During the operation, we made a distinction between Hamas and Islamic Jihad," Israeli military spokesman Donathan Conricus said.
After two days of clashes, which killed 34 martyrs in the Gaza Strip, and did not result in deaths in Israel, which targeted 450 rockets, the Islamic Jihad and Israel agreed to a ceasefire came into force on Thursday morning. But the ceasefire remains fragile, as Israeli warplanes launched raids into Gaza on Friday, after rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip after the truce took effect.
