Reports were received regarding two additional Islamic Jihad terrorist organization operatives who stayed with him in the hideout apartment who were also targeted.

Ghali was entrusted with the instruction and the launching of rocket fire toward Israel, including the recent barrage of rockets toward Israeli territory as part of operation “Shield and Arrow”. Ghali instructed and took part in launching the barrage of rockets toward Israel during operations “Guardian of the Walls” and “Breaking Dawn”.

Ghali was entrusted with all routine activity of the force and held a central role in the organization, the IDF said.

The strikes in Gaza came after rocket barrages were fired towards southern Israel up until midnight, despite reports of an imminent ceasefire.

Around 9:00 p.m., a barrage of rockets was fired at communities near the Gaza border and the Lachish area. A rocket directly hit a home in Ashkelon and caused heavy damage. There were no injuries.

According to the IDF, 469 rockets had been launched from the Gaza Strip as of 9:30 p.m., 107 of which fell in the Gaza Strip or in the sea.

333 rockets crossed into Israeli territory and 153 launches were intercepted. At the same time, 133 Islamic Jihad targets were attacked in Gaza.

Additional barrages of rockets were fired at communities in southern and central Israel even after Egyptian media reported that Egypt had brokered a ceasefire...

And if they have a funeral for him in the streets, I would then assume that those attending are all supporters and hates Israel just as much as this terrorist did.

Sounds like a daisy cutter or two would change Gaza for the better.

Proportionate Use of Force Guidelines:

1. Whatever Israel does is wrong.

469 rockets had been launched from the Gaza Strip in one barrage.

No other country would put up with this. The rockets are from where? Launch strikes against that countries leaders.
