Aggravation in the Gaza Strip:
August 5, 2022 Israeli army launched a military operation against the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip. Several hits were dealt.
On the same day, August 5, “Islamic Jihad” hit Israel in response to attacks on Gaza. About 50 missiles were fired.
The conflict was preceded by the arrest of Islamic Jihad leader Bassam al-Saadi.
The Palestinians threatened Israel with retaliatory attacks for this arrest. Hours before the start of the operation, Defense Minister Benny Gantz addressed the Palestinian Islamic Jihad with a warning that the army would take action if the terrorists did not abandon plans for further attacks on Israel.
During the strikes on Gaza, a high-ranking commander of the Palestinian group “Islamic Jihad” was eliminated. This was confirmed by the official representative of the militant group.
