In Gaza, at least ten Palestinians including a Commander of the Islamic Jihad group have been martyred in Israeli air strikes. The attacks follows the arrest of senior Palestinian leader Bassam al-Saadi in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
Hamas has termed this attack as a brutal crime and massacre done by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians.
A senior official for Hamas Ghazi Hamad said there is “no justification” for the attacks and Palestinian factions have the right to defend themselves and “protect” their people.
