On August 5, Israel announced Operation Dawn against Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip.

A state of emergency has been declared along the 80-kilometer border between Israel and the enclave.

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Israel will increase the intensity of the operation in the Gaza Strip.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow calls on all parties to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to show restraint and return to the ceasefire.
