Israel Strikes Islamic Jihad Rocket Crew
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - An Israeli drone bombed two Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists preparing to fire rockets at Israel from Gaza, Palestinian media reported. One was killed and the other was injured. A Palestinian rocket struck a home in Netivot, causing damage but no injuries. Another struck a highway, injuring a man and damaging several cars. Several rockets struck Sderot, one hit the city of Ashdod, and one struck a street in Rishon Lezion. IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus said Tuesday that the IDF has sent messages to Hamas urging it not to take part in this round of fighting. He said the IDF conducted the attack on Islamic Jihad commander Abu al-Ata "because there was no other choice." He said the IDF asked for permission to carry out the attack a week ago and was "waiting for the opportune moment to conduct the surgical strike. The missiles were fired from fighter jets with the intention of not bringing down the entire building, but just the floor where he was located."
