Three senior commanders of the organisation were killed in the Israeli strikes, as well as at least 10 civilians. The strikes provoked retaliatory attacks across southern Israel, triggering Israel's air defence system and causing sirens to blare in cities as far away as Tel Aviv. At least three people were killed in Wednesday's fresh round of violence, bringing the total over two days to 21 casualties, and many more were wounded.

Tensions have been running high since Khader Adnan, a prominent political figure affiliated with Islamic Jihad, died on hunger strike in Israeli custody.
