Israeli Defense Forces revealed that air raid sirens were sounded in the southern part of the country overnight, as threats of renewed airstrikes rise.
Head of the Operations Directorate of the Israeli Army Oded Basiok earlier stated that Israeli forces had allegedly "neutralized" the top leadership of Islamic Jihad's armed wing in Gaza.
Prior to this, Israeli troops claimed that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Group was to blame for the deaths of numerous adults and children in the northern Gaza Strip city of Jabalia as a result of a misdirected missile launch by the group.
