After a few hours of calm during the night, in the early hours of this Saturday the exchange of fire between Israel and Palestinian militias in Gazawith the Israeli air force bombing new military posts of the Islamic Jihad and the firing of more rockets from the Strip, while the attempts at a truce foundered again.

Egyptian mediators had resubmitted another proposal for a ceasefire, followed by a pause in the fighting that made feed the hopes that the escalation could end war that is already entering its fifth day.

The Islamic Jihad canceled this Friday the launch of a volley of rockets scheduled for 9:00 p.m. (6:00 p.m. GMT), when it had also called on the Gazans to go out on their rooftops to celebrate with whistles and shouts of “Allaho Akbar” ( God is great), as he did the day before.

That was interpreted as progress in talks hints for a truce in Cairo, along with the fact that around the same time the Israeli planes stopped being heard in the Strips and the drone of drones. But the calm lasted only about eight hours.

In the early hours of Saturday, Israel has resumed the attacks with a new bombardment on objectives of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (YIP), specifically two “command centers” of high officials of the organization in the Gaza Strip, which were used to the “planning and command of terrorist activity against Israel” and to “organize the firing of rockets against Israel”, according to the version of the Israeli Army.

“Seven concealed rocket and mortar launchers were attacked overnight in Gaza, including from those identified as firing into southern Israel yesterday,” a military spokesman said.

Also early, the YIP has resumed firing rockets, raising anti-aircraft alarms in several towns in southern Israel, although on Friday it launched into the center of the country, heading towards jerusalem for the first time since this climb began on Tuesday.

Since that day, the Army has successfully attacked 325 YIP targets -including homes of its members and military installations-, while this group, considered a terrorist by Israel, the US and the EU, has fired 1,099 projectiles from the Strip, including rockets and mortars, of which 865 crossed into Israeli territory.

Palestinian sources indicate that the YIP did not like the latest proposal because it demands a ceasefire with compromises from Israel, which launched Operation “Shield and Arrow” on Tuesday with the aim of killing three leaders of the group in intense shelling. that they also killed ten civilians, including their wives and children. Since then, Israel has killed six other senior YIP officials, whose leadership inside Gaza has been almost completely eliminated, in this escalation in which they have been killed. 33 Palestinians and 147 have been injured.
