(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - An Israeli airstrike killed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) central brigade commander Khaled Moawad Faraj, 38. IDF airstrikes have hit dozens of targets belonging to the group. "We have a relatively rich PIJ target bank," said IDF spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Hidai Zilberman. "We are not attacking Hamas and the PIJ targets we are striking are not in the center of Gaza City....We do not want to kill civilians which could lead Hamas to join the fighting." The majority of Palestinians killed in the latest fighting have been PIJ militants. Dozens of rockets fired by the group fell in Gaza.
