Israel, Gaza trade overnight fire after West Bank deadly clashes
Palestinian factions fired rockets toward Israel after Thursday's West Bank raid that killed 9, in latest escalation and ahead of US secretary of state’s visit to the region.
Palestinian militants fired two rockets from the Gaza Strip on southern Israel on Friday morning in response to the latest flare-up in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
Sirens were activated but the rockets were intercepted by Israeli missile defenses.
Israel carried out strikes in Gaza in retaliation but no casualties were reported on either side.
According to Reuters, during Thursday’s Jenin raid, Islamic Jihad counted two deaths in its ranks and four from Hamas. "We consider that security coordination with the Israeli occupation government no longer exists as of now," the Palestinian leadership was quoted as saying.
