Israel bombs Gaza for third consecutive day as punishment for Palestinian jailbreak
Israeli soldiers take positions along the border between the northern West Bank near Jenin and Israel as they search for two Palestinians who broke out of a maximum-security prison last week

ISRAEL targeted Palestinian resistance sites in series of air strikes in Gaza for the third consecutive day today.

It is accused by Palestinian groups of carrying out “collective punishment” for last week’s jailbreak in which six prisoners escaped from Gilboa prison.

Missiles struck an outpost in southern Gaza, to the east of the city of Rafah, according to reports from the Palestinian Shehab news agency.
