GAZA/JERUSALEM - On Saturday, Palestinian militants in Gaza restarted firing rockets into Israel following Israeli airstrikes against  Jihadi targets in the area. The ongoing conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 33 Palestinians and one Israeli, has entered its fifth day.

Egypt has been working to negotiate a ceasefire between the two sides. The recent violence is part of an ongoing resurgence of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities that have been ongoing for over a year, resulting in over 140 Palestinian and 19 Israeli and foreigner fatalities since January.

Israel's military conducted pre-dawn airstrikes targeting  Jihadi command centres and rocket launchers, which were captured in grainy black and white aerial footage released by the military.

Following the Israeli attack, militants in Gaza resumed rocket fire, setting off sirens and sending Israelis in border communities to seek shelter. However, there were no reports of casualties. The Israeli campaign against  Jihadi, launched on Tuesday, has resulted in the killing of six of the group's top commanders, with Israel claiming that the group was planning attacks.

After the Israeli military launched a campaign against it,  Jihadi, the second-largest armed group in Gaza after Hamas, has fired nearly 1,000 rockets, some reaching deep into Israel.

On Thursday, a rocket struck an apartment in a Tel Aviv suburb, killing a woman. In Gaza, where poverty is rampant, at least four women and six children have died. Israel claims that four Palestinians were killed by misfired rockets from Gaza, but  Jihadi has denied the allegation.

 Jihadi advocates the destruction of Israel and rejects coexistence, while Israel's religious nationalist government officials reject any Palestinian statehood in the territories captured by Israel during the 1967 Middle East war.
