Israeli forces struck dozens of targets throughout Gaza, including militant sites that it said were concealed in homes or residential areas. The Israeli military has retaliated with some 260 airstrikes against militant targets in Gaza. Islamic Jihad media outlets said the two were militants. Israel accuses Islamic Jihad of operating behind Hamas’ back and instigating the latest round of violence by shooting and wounding two Israeli soldiers Friday. Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli national security adviser, said the violence was being instigated by Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza at the behest of their backers in Iran.
