Islamic Jihad’s failed rocket attacks kill 4 Gaza civilians

The Israeli military on Thursday accused Palestinian Islamic Jihad of killing four Gaza civilians in failed rocket launches.

The four were killed in separate incidents on Wednesday, as the terror group fired more than 500 rockets. Of those, the Israel Defense Forces reported, 108 failed to reach Israeli territory, either misfiring or landing inside the Gaza Strip.

In one of the cases, a rocket landed in Beit Hanoun, in the northwest Gaza Strip, killing 16-year-old Rami Shadi Hamdan and 51-year-old Ahmed Muhammad al-Shabaki.

Other failed launches killed 10-year-old Lin Belal Abd al-Salam Loh and 16-year-old Vizen Juda Aliyan.

During a previous military operation against Islamic Jihad in August 2022, the terror group fired some 1,000 rockets, of which 120 misfired. Fourteen Palestinians were killed by misfired rockets, raising widespread anger in Gaza.

Maintaining weapons caches, tunnels, launchers, and command and control sites in civilian areas is a war crime. Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas and Islamic Jihad of deliberately embedding themselves in close proximity to homes, schools, hospitals and mosques.

The Israeli air strikes on Islamic Jihad leaders come against the backdrop of a rocket barrage fired by the terror group following the death of Khader Adnan on May 2. The imprisoned Adnan, a senior Islamic Jihad figure, died after an 86-day hunger strike. The terror group had threatened throughout Adnan’s hunger strike that it would hold Israel responsible for its member’s death.

Israel responded with surprise air strikes killing three senior Islamic Jihad commanders on May 9. The commander of the terror group’s rocket squads, Ali Ghali, was killed in an air strike on Thursday morning.

‘Murderous consequences’ – EU condemns terror incitement in Palestinian textbooks

Textbooks used by high schoolers at a PA educational institution in Bethlehem describe Jews as “dangerous” and “perverted in nature,” while lionizing “Jihad and martyrdom.”

The European Union parliament linked rampant incitement in textbooks used in Palestinian Authority schools, passing a resolution that explicitly condemns the content as encouraging terror and leading to violence against Israelis.

The EU “deplores the problematic and hateful material in Palestinian school textbooks and study cards which still has not been removed,” the body said in a statement, emphasizing that this is the fourth consecutive year in which the PA has refused to remove the problematic content.

“Education and pupils’ access to peaceful and unbiased textbooks is essential, especially in the context of the rising implication of teenagers in terrorist attacks,” the resolution added.

Impact-se, an Israeli advocacy group raising awareness about the antisemitic and anti-Israel content in PA textbooks, welcomed the resolution.

“The Palestinian Authority lobbied hard in Brussels against this resolution, but found itself up against the hard reality of its hateful school curriculum and the anger and frustration of European Parliament members with a Palestinian national strategy of inciting schoolchildren to hate and violence on their dime, year after year,” Impact-se’s CEO Marcus Sheff said in a media statement.

“This strategy has murderous consequences. The resolution will also be noted at the European Commission and by Commissioner Varhelyi, who stated last week that EU funds can no longer be used to incite violence against Israel.”

A report by Impact-se noted that anti-Israel content is embedded throughout different areas of study within the PA curriculum.

Dalal al-Mughrabi, a female terrorist who headed a cell that murdered 38 Israeli, is depicted as a positive example of women’s empowerment.

“The Palestinians sacrifice their blood to liberate Jerusalem” is a phrase in a basic grammar lesson aimed at young children.

An Arabic language lesson for 9th graders includes the sentence “when the [Muslim] nation is negligent in protecting al-Aqsa, then the Jews will dare to defile it.”
