Zionist entity bombs Gaza despite earlier ceasefire deal, Palestinians urge retaliation

Israel has launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip despite agreeing to an earlier ceasefire, arousing popular calls for continued Palestinian retaliatory strikes in response to the Israeli onslaught.

Gaza's Health Ministry on Friday reported that two injured citizens were being treated following the strike.

The strikes threaten to unravel a fragile ceasefire which put an end to two days of fighting after Israel launched two assassination attempts targeting two senior Islamic Jihad commanders, one in the Syrian capital of Damascus and another in Gaza on Tuesday.

While the strikes failed to kill Tel Aviv's intended target in Syria, strikes in Gaza led to the death of Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu al-Ata, along with his wife.

As a result of ensuing fighting, at least 34 Palestinians, including eight children and three women, were killed while another 110 were also injured.

Various Palestinian resistance groups, notably Islamic Jihad, responded by firing reportedly more than 400 rockets into Israel, paralyzing Tel Aviv and other vast parts of the country, leading to the closure of business and roads.

On Wednesday, Hamas officials warned that it would join Islamic Jihad in repelling Israeli aggression if Tel Aviv failed to submit to a ceasefire.
