Israel bombs Gaza Strip for second day in ‘pre-emptive operation’
Health authorities in Palestinian enclave report 15 dead in Israeli attacks targeting Islamic Jihad
Residents of the Gaza Strip were bracing for the possibility of a new round of war on Saturday after two days of “pre-emptive” Israeli airstrikes against a Palestinian militant group.
Israeli warplanes hit several sites in the blockaded territory on Friday, part of a surprise operation named “Breaking Dawn” that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said thwarted alleged planned rocket attacks by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
