Israel launched surprise attacks across the Gaza Strip on Friday, killing 10 Palestinians, including a young girl and a senior commander from the Islamic Jihad resistance group.
More than 60 people were injured, including at least 10 children.
Islamic Jihad launched at least 100 rockets toward Israel late Friday evening, the first retaliatory response on behalf of Palestinian resistance groups.
A spokesperson for Islamic Jihad told the network Al Jazeera that the resistance was prepared for a long battle with Israel if necessary that could last days or weeks.
The spokesperson added that Israel’s surprise attack came despite ongoing efforts by Egypt to mediate a de-escalation with the group, following Israel’s arrest of a senior Islamic Jihad commander in the West Bank earlier this week.
Hamas gave its full backing to Islamic Jihad’s response and said resistance factions were united and working in coordination.

Curse Biden and every other asshole that supports the fascist Israeli filth.
They have invaded the Palestinians' country and slaughter them at will with the full backing of the North American state and in contravention of international law, including the Geneva Conventions.
One can only hope that similar devastation is visited upon those that torment them.
