As the sun rose over the Gaza Strip on Saturday (May 13) black smoke could be seen rising over the city skyline after a rocket attack on Saturday in the early hours of the morning, Reuters reports.
Fighting has still not ceased after days of Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rockets disrupted life for millions of people, and amid Egyptian efforts to cement a ceasefire.
The Israeli army released a video on Saturday (May 13) that claimed to show several air strikes on what it said were operational command centres belonging to senior operatives in the Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip.
The grainy black and white aerial footage it released, showed explosions and clouds of smoke rising from bombed sites.
Reuters could not independently verify the authenticity of the video or the location.
Palestinian militants in Gaza resumed rocket fire at Israel at dawn after Israeli aircraft bombed Islamic Jihad targets in the enclave overnight, as fighting entered a fifth day.
Egypt has been trying to mediate a truce to the flare-up, which has so far left at least 33 Palestinians and one Israeli dead.
Six top Islamic Jihad commanders have been killed since Tuesday (May 9), when Israeli forces launched a campaign against the group, saying it was planning attacks.
Islamic Jihad, the second largest armed group in Gaza after the ruling Islamist Hamas, has since fired almost 1,000 rockets, some deep into Israel. One woman was killed on Thursday when an apartment was struck by a rocket in a Tel Aviv suburb.
At least four women and six children have died in densely populated Gaza, an impoverished coastal territory blockaded by Israel and Egypt since 2007. Israel says four Palestinians were killed by misfired Gaza rockets, which Islamic Jihad has denied.
