IDF claims 'global jihadist' killed in Gaza airstrikes.
Gaza – Ma'an – An Israeli airstrike at midday killed one and injured a second, hours after Israeli artillery fire injured three children in Johur Ad-Dik, in central Gaza on Thursday.
An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the strike, noting it was in retaliation against militants who had fired on Israeli patrol jeeps earlier that morning. He said the patrol had been operating on the east side of the Gaza border, and that soldiers returned fire in the direction of the attack.
The same spokesman later identified the slain man as 26-year-old Faris Ahmad Jaber of Gaza City, allegedly affiliated with the "Global Jihad," an unheard of group not know to operate in Gaza. The spokesman said Jaber and one other man were preparing to launch an attack on Israel when the airstrike hit them. The second man was not identified, but the spokesman said he was known to have been involved in planning a separate attack on Israel.
