An injured person is removed from a building in Gaza, Palestine.
Black smoke billows out of the burning building.
This is a video taken by a local resident.
“War has begun in Gaza.”
On the 5th local time, Israeli fighter jets attacked the Gaza Strip.
It is a region ruled by the Palestinian armed faction ‘Hezbollah’.
Immediately following the airstrike, the Israeli army also released a screen of the fighter’s airstrike.
The target of the attack was the facility of the armed group ‘Palestinian Islamic Jihad’ PIJ.
The Israeli military estimates that the airstrikes killed fighters from militant groups, including high-ranking PIJ commander Taiseer al-Jabari.
However, the Palestinian anger is boiling over the death of a five-year-old girl in the airstrike.

Israel has closed roads near the Gaza Strip for fear of retaliatory attacks.
In addition, a low-altitude air defense system, Iron Dome, was deployed and an order to mobilize reserve forces was also issued.
A large number of troops have been deployed to the border of Gaza, and residents have also entered a readiness posture.

The casualties of the airstrike are estimated to be the largest since the 11-day war in May of last year.
Israeli interim Prime Minister Yair Rapids, who had predicted an additional attack, also fired artillery following the second air strike.
PIJ also responded by firing more than 100 rockets at southern and central Israel.
Tensions are escalating once more in the Middle East’s gunpowder district of Gaza.
