The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced, at dawn on Tuesday, that at least 9 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli air raids on the Strip.
The ministry confirmed, in a press statement, that 9 were killed and a number of wounded as a result of the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Our correspondent in Gaza reported the killing of leaders of the Al-Quds Brigades affiliated with the Jihad Movement in the Israeli raids.
The Israeli army stated that it had targeted three senior Islamic Jihad leaders.
Powerful explosions rocked Gaza and video footage on social media showed smoke billowing and flames lighting up the night sky. Sky News Arabia might not verify the footage.
The air strikes represent the latest episodes of escalating violence in more than a year, with repeated Israeli military raids and escalating settler violence in the occupied West Bank in light of a series of attacks by Palestinians targeting Israelis.
More than 90 Palestinians and at least 19 Israelis and foreigners have been killed since January.
