Palestinian Islamic Jihad Launches Massive Barrage Of Over 100 Rockets From Gaza Into Israel In Sabbath Day Surprise Attack, IDF Hits Back Hard

More than 70 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into southern and central Israel on Friday night, hours after the IDF struck multiple terrorist targets in Gaza, killing a top Islamic Jihad terrorist leader as well as additional operatives.
The Times of Israel reports that “Palestinian media reports say Israeli jets are currently striking sites in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces confirms it has launched a new wave of airstrikes against Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets in the coastal enclave. Meanwhile, incoming rocket sirens sound in Ashkelon, Sderot and other towns near the border with Gaza, with no immediate reports of damage or injuries.” IDF reservists have been called up, and the PM says ‘it will take as long as it takes’.
“For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.” Psalm 89:18 (KJB)
This is the first major offensive in Israel since the signing of the Abraham Accords, so it will be interesting to see who, or if, other Arab nations will weigh in on the current situation. Will Macron step into the fray offering peace talk? Will Mohamed bin Zayed offer some timely words of advice? What will it take to get this thing to the ‘next level’, prophetically speaking? Only the Lord knows, but one of these days we’re going to cross a line from which there will be no retreat.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad fires over 100 rockets from Gaza into Israel
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Sirens were heard across a number of key Israeli cities as more than 70 rockets were fired at Yavne, Be’er Yaakov, Ashdod and Gaza-border communities. Most of the rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. The IDF was retaliating and striking additional targets said to be affiliated with Islamic Jihad terrorist infrastructure.

The targeting range was soon widened as rockets were fired toward the center of Israel including Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam and Holon. An hour later more rockets were fired at Sderot, Ibim and Nir Am.
No casualties were reported. Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the attacks.
The rocket attacks came after the IDF struck multiple Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza on Friday in what Israel is calling Operation Breaking Dawn. The strikes destroyed Islamic Jihad military structures and including the assassinationof top terrorist leader Tayseer al-Jabari.
The IDF hit additional targets in Gaza in response to the rocket fire.
In a press conference on Friday evening, Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that the strikes had been in response to a major terror attack that was being planned by the Islamic Jihad after its leader was arrested on Monday. READ MORE
