Health authorities in Palestinian enclave report 12 dead in Israeli attacks targeting Islamic Jihad.

Hamas announced its support for Islamic Jihad and said it would also respond to the strikes. Israel and Egypt closed the strip’s borders a year later, leaving the area’s 2 million residents grappling with unemployment, crumbling medical infrastructure and little electricity and clean water. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage, with many rockets intercepted by the Iron Dome aerial defence system, but 13 people were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The abrupt Israeli military attacks against the Gaza Strip constitute a serious escalation that heralds the expansion of the cycle of violence. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 55 Palestinians were injured as a result of Israeli attacks---including ten children and four women. On Friday, 5 August 2022, Israeli forces carried out a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, which began with the assassination of a commander of one of the Palestinian resistance factions.

There were lines to buy groceries even as occasional IDF strikes landed elsewhere in the enclave of 2 million people. But opinions within the organization are known to be divided, with some Hamas officials outside of the enclave more eager for an escalation. Officials said that 81 of the launches had fallen short and landed in Gaza and that 14 others had plunged into the sea. Officials on Saturday shut down the enclave’s sole power plant, which already operated at limited capacity, because of a lack of fuel to run generators. “Suddenly, without warning, there was a big explosion and the window glass started to fly,” said Iman Abu Ghanima, 51, who lives in a building next to the blast site. There was no sign of letup in the fighting, and the Israeli military said it had prepared for its operations to last at least a week. Israeli officials hope that conditions are right for a relatively quick end to the violence. “The most important thing is whether Hamas is going to intervene or not,” said Yossi Kuperwasser, a former head of intelligence research for the Israeli army. The IDF continued to carry out airstrikes in Gaza, targeting what it said were rocket-manufacturing, storage and launch sites. Hamas sat out several days of exchanges between PIJ and Israel in 2019 after Israel killed another top PIJ commander. He said the strikes are carefully planned to avoid harming bystanders but that the militants make perfect accuracy impossible by embedding themselves and their weapons within the civilian population. Two civilians reportedly received minor injuries as they ran for cover, and two soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) received minor shrapnel wounds, officials said.

Israeli forces then sealed roads around the Gaza Strip and on Friday bombed an apartment building in the centre of Gaza City, killing al-Jabari, Islamic Jihad’s northern commander, and at least nine others, including a five-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman. Lapid, a centrist former TV host and author, has experience in diplomacy having served as foreign minister in the outgoing government, but has thin security credentials.

This is a siege whose end goal is, not just the weakening, but the eradication of all Palestinian resistance.

Not people who must forcefully take and hold the land but a form of sovereignty that recognises the land itself as sovereign, where people come to exist in a reciprocal relationship with it. They are brutal acts of violence that are designed to shatter and eliminate Palestinian “sumud” (steadfast perseverance). They are basically Israel’s way of constantly reaffirming for the Palestinians inside and outside the Gaza Strip that Israel has the first and last word on the life and death of Palestinians – that Israel is the lord and master of the land. By its very structure and purpose, this siege cannot end because its purpose is the eradication of something that cannot be eradicated: Palestinians as a sovereign people who declare their belonging to their Palestinian homeland. In the three reports, the account of the killings is framed within and through the figure of the “Palestinian militant” which is essentially the figure of the beast. As Palestinian scholar Tareq Baconi argued last year, the Gaza Strip is not exceptional and it does not fall outside the framework of Israeli settler colonialism because of the so-called disengagement plan that then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon began in 2005. What Israel has done is basically force a Palestinian population that is largely made up of displaced Palestinians from the 1948 settler colonial conquest of Palestine into a very small area of land. I want to present this contrast here to show the reader the difference between a worldview that posits Palestinians as beasts and one that views them as they are – human. It is almost as if they know the reader will be heartbroken and maybe even shaken by the killing of a five-year-old innocent girl, and therefore, the report must immediately remind the reader that Palestinians are militants who deserve to be assassinated. Yes, the Palestinian Health Ministry should have clarified for the CBC that the five-year-old girl was a civilian and not a militant. As soon as they mention the brutal killing of five-year-old Alaa Qaddoum, it is followed by Israel’s claim that it also killed “militants” in this operation. Unfortunately, worldviews that are completely divorced from reality can and do gain prominence and the status of “factual knowledge”. This is not an accidental occurrence. Against the terror of the beast, Israel is seen as justified in exploding into righteous anger and even beastliness.

Israel closed the Erez civilian crossing and Kerem Shalom commercial crossing in the Gaza Strip on 2 August, stopping the entry and exit of people and goods, including fuel, necessary to operate Gaza's sole power plant, which was forced to cease operation on Saturday.

- The group was founded in 1981 by Palestinian students in Egypt with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and other areas of what is now Israel. Islamic Jihad is the smaller of the two main Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip, and is vastly outnumbered by the governing Hamas group. - A senior commander of Islamic Jihad was killed in an Israeli raid on Saturday, the Palestinian armed group confirmed. - Rocket sirens and explosions were heard west of Jerusalem on Sunday as dozens of rockets were launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip. - The Israeli military also said it had arrested 19 members of Islamic Jihad in the West Bank on Saturday. - The latest round of tensions began after Israeli forces arrested Bassam al-Saadi, an Islamic Jihad commander in the occupied West Bank, on Monday during a raid in the city of Jenin that resulted in the killing ofa teenager. - Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said it was necessary to launch the “preemptive” operation against Islamic Jihad, as the group was planning an attack following days of tensions along the border with Gaza.

Rafah’s second crossing into Egypt is the Salah al-Din gate, which is used for transporting goods. It is also home to four refugee camps: Nuseirat, Al Bureij, Al Maghazi and Deir el-Balah. Anyone who steps within 1km (0.6 miles) of this barrier is in danger of being shot by the Israeli army, which patrols Gaza’s northern and eastern borders. The Israeli attacks on Gaza have destroyed apartment buildings and struck refugee camps. Since 2007, Israel has imposed a sea and air blockade of Gaza. Rimal, Shujaiya and Tel al-Hawa are among its most well-known neighbourhoods. Rafah is the southernmost district of Gaza with a population of more than 250,000. The Shati refugee camp, also known as Beach Camp, is located along Gaza’s Mediterranean coastline and is the third-largest out of the Gaza Strip’s eight camps. North Gaza is home to the largest refugee camp in the Strip. The Jabalia refugee camp covers an area of 1.4sq km (0.5sq miles), and with a population of 114,000, it is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. At the heart of the Rimal neighbourhood is Al Shifa Hospital – the largest medical facility in the Gaza Strip. Gaza City is the largest and most populous city within the Gaza Strip, with more than 700,000 residents. The district of North Gaza shares a 10km (6 miles) long border with Israel. The Gaza Strip is surrounded by a heavily fortified perimeter consisting of a concrete wall and double-wired fencing.
