IDF says campaign remains focused on Islamic Jihad after nearly 300 rockets fired
(Worthy News) – Gazan terrorists fired nearly 300 rockets at Israel over several hours on Wednesday afternoon, though nearly a fifth of them fell short inside the Strip, the Israeli military said, as it vowed to press an offensive against Islamic Jihad, but signaled it would seek to keep the engagement from snowballing.
With Israeli jets carrying out sorties in Gaza and salvos of rockets sending residents scrambling for shelter, military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari dismissed reports of ceasefire talks and said the Israel Defense Forces was focusing its strikes in the Gaza Strip on the terror group and not on Hamas.
Hagari insistence that Hamas had not joined the fight, despite the group’s threats of a unified response, underlined jitters that the better-armed terror group, which rules the Strip, could shift the conflict into a higher gear, challenging the army and putting much of the country under rocket threat.
