Israeli strikes in Gaza Strip raise fears of escalation
By Steve Hendrix, Shira Rubin and Niha Masih, The Washington Post
Transcribed from the clipping
“Israeli airstrikes killed three senior commanders of the Islamic Jihad militant group in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, along with several civilians including children, Palestinian officials said… The commanders were identified as Khalil Bahtini, Jehad Ghanam and Tareq Izzeldeen.
All three were killed in strikes on their homes, along with members of their families… Israel said the operation, named Shield and Arrow, was a response to rocket fire that followed the death in custody of the hunger striker Khader Adnan… Hamas did not immediately join the fighting…”
Context added by this archive
Printed here under the Inquirer’s own headline. The commanders were killed at home. The civilians the story counts are the families in those houses, and it says so in its fourth paragraph.
