The IDF had launched on Saturday at least another 48 air strikes against Islamic Jihad, bringing the total to 180 since Thursday night and 371 since this past Tuesday morning.
The three commanders of the Jerusalem Brigades were among 13 Palestinians killed by the Gaza Health Ministry in violent raids on residential buildings at dawn on Tuesday. In a military statement, the Al-Quds Brigades mourned its three martyrs: the martyr Jihad Shaker al-Ghannam, the martyr Khalil Salah al-Bahtini, and the martyr Tariq Ezz al-Din. "As we mourn our martyrs leaders and their wives and a number of their sons, we confirm that the blood of the martyrs will increase our resolve," the statement said.
