Israeli aircraft struck targets in the Gaza Strip for a second straight day on Wednesday, killing at least one Palestinian and pushing the region closer toward a new round of heavy fighting.
May 10, 2023, 7:22 AMMourners carry the bodies of Ahmed Assaf, 19, right, and Rani Qatanat, 24, left, draped in the flag of Islamic Jihad, two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Qabatiya, near the West Bank city of Jenin, Wednesday, May 10, 2023. The Israeli military said that Palestinian gunmen opened fire at troops in the Palestinian town of Qabatiya in the northern West Bank during an army raid. Troops returned fire, killing the two men, and confiscated their firearms, it said.
The Israeli military said its attacks were focused on Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant infrastructure in the coastal enclave. The Israeli military had instructed residents of southern Israel to remain near bomb shelters, and schools were still closed for a second day as a precaution against rocket attacks.
But Hamas has expressed solidarity with its smaller counterpart, and the two groups often coordinate with one another.
