(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces killed a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad terror group responsible for the firing dozens of rockets out of the Gaza Strip, authorities said early Tuesday, in an attack that could send the sides sliding back toward war.
Shortly after the attack, rocket sirens sounded throughout southern Israel, as the region girded for a fresh round of violence. There was no immediate word on injuries or damage.
The IDF said it carried out a strike against a building where Baha Abu al-Ata was located in the Shejaiya area of Gaza City. It said he was planning an “imminent” attack at Iran’s behest. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
