Smoke billows over the Gaza Strip as Israel launches new airstrikes on the Palestinian enclave, May 11, 2023.
Israel carried out airstrikes overnight in the Gaza Strip, including one early Thursday the Israeli military said killed the head of Islamic Jihad’s rocket squad.
The strikes came amid a multiday burst of violence, with Israeli raids in the West Bank and cross-border rocket fire from Palestinian militants.
Officials from both sides said Egypt was working to broker a cease-fire.
The violence has left at least 26 Palestinians dead since Tuesday, including three senior Islamic Jihad commanders and 10 civilians. (AFP/VOA)
