Gaza’s Palestinian militias launched five rockets at Israel this morning, all intercepted by the anti-missile system; to which Israeli military aviation responded by bombing two installations of the Islamist movement Hamas, which rules the enclave

“Army fighter jets attacked an underground factory for weapons used by the chemical division of the terrorist organization Hamas.as well as that group’s rocket-producing plant in the Gaza Strip,” a military spokesman said.

The attack on Gaza comes just hours after Israeli troops began their withdrawal from the Jenin refugee camp last night, where they launched a large-scale military operation early Monday, the largest in the occupied West Bank since the Second Intifada. that has been saved for the time being with 12 Palestinian dead and an Israeli soldier.

“This attack significantly hampered efforts to intensify the weapons of the terrorist organization Hamas,” added the Israeli army, which holds the group responsible for everything that happens in the enclave.

However, no group has claimed responsibility for the missile launch. That triggered an airstrike alert in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, where a house sustained minor damage from shrapnel from an intercepted missile detonated in mid-air.

The Strip already had to deal with a five-day war escalation last May that pitted Israel against Islamic Jihad – without direct Hamas involvement – with 34 Gazans appearing in the enclave and two people in Israel, one of them a Palestinian.

As for the operation in Jenin, which involved troops on the ground and airstrikes with drones, the military confirmed last night that “some of his troops left the camp”a historic stronghold of the Palestinian militia movement now home to the Jenin Brigade — which brings together militias of all factions — and “main focus of terrorism” in the West Bank, according to Israel.

As Israeli forces began the withdrawal, which is still ongoing, there were sporadic clashes with militias and the army spokesman, Daniel Hagari, confirmed that the operation will not be considered complete until all troops have left the Jenin field and remain alert.

As the troops left the camp, an Israeli soldier, a non-commissioned officer in the elite Egoz command, was shot dead as he secured the withdrawal.

In the early morning, some residents of the Jenin refugee camp then began to return to their homes During the operation, some 3,000 people were evacuated to flee the violence rampant in the campespecially in the last year.

After initiating the withdrawal, the army launched an airstrike against armed Palestinians stationed at a cemetery outside the Jenin camp who “posed a threat to security forces as they left the refugee camp”.

The occupied West Bank is experiencing its highest peak of violence since the Second Intifada (2000-05) and 156 Palestinians have already died in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by 2023mainly militants in armed confrontations with Israeli forces and attackers, but also civilians, including 27 minors.

At the same time, the area has witnessed the annihilation of new Palestinian armed groups, which are carrying out more and more attacks and have left 26 dead on the Israeli side, most of them settlers, five of them minors and one soldier.
