Israeli strike on Gaza
While intensifying its brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces launched a wave of arrests, which included 19 members of the Islamic Jihad movement in the occupied West Bank.
The IOF statement said that soldiers and agents from the Shin Bet internal security agency arrested 20 Palestinians in early morning raids in the occupied West Bank, claiming that 19 of them are members of the Islamic Jihad movement (PIJ).
Palestinian resistance factions in the Jenin refugee camp stated that all roads to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank will be under fire.
The factions added during a joint press conference, at dawn on Saturday, in conjunction with the continuation of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, that "all roads to Israeli settlements will be under the Resistance’s fire, and the movement of Israeli settlers within the occupied West Bank will be restricted.”
The factions warned the Israeli occupation of committing any other folly against the Gaza Strip, renewing their commitment to continue the path of resistance.
Israeli media reported that sirens were heard in the settlements of “Sderot”, “Nir Am”, “Sapir Academic College”, “Ibim”, "Mefalsim", “Nir Oz”, "Nirim", "Neroz" and "Ein Hashlosha".
In the same context, Israeli media said that 160 rockets were fired from Gaza overnight, adding that Israeli forces confirm readiness for a week of fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Resistance factions started responding Friday to the Israeli occupation's aggression on Gaza, launching salvoes of rockets toward the occupied territories.
The launching of rockets toward the Israeli occupation come in retaliation against the assassination of Taiseer Al-Jaabari, a military commander in the northern Gaza Strip. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that explosions were heard in the Gaza Strip, occupied Palestine. The shelling targeted the Palestine Tower in the center of Gaza city, where Al-Jaabari was located.
Shortly thereafter, all of the Palestinian Resistance factions issued statements condemning the Israeli occupation's aggression and its assassination of resistance figures and leaders, as well as solidifying the resistance's unity against the Israeli aggressors.
