UPDATE: Israeli military says it killed three commanders of the Islamic Jihad armed group in Gaza air strikes
Islamic Jihad, which is smaller than the dominant, ruling Hamas movement, confirmed that the three were among the dead.
The tension is linked to increasing violence in the occupied West Bank, where Israel has been conducting near-daily raids for the past months to detain Palestinians suspected of planning or carrying out attacks on Israelis. Last week, several rockets were fired from Gaza toward southern Israel, and the Israeli military responded with air strikes following the death of a hunger-striking senior member of the Islamic Jihad in Israeli custody.
The air strikes are similar to ones in 2022 in which Israel bombed places housing commanders of the Islamic Jihad group, setting off a three-day blitz that saw the group losing its two top commanders and other dozens of militants.
