Earlier today (Friday), IDF aircraft, as part of Operation Shield and Arrow, struck two Islamic Jihad operational command centers.

They centers are used for planning and managing rocket launches by the rocket unit of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.

The operational command centers were used by a number of senior operatives, including Amar Abu Tir, an operative in the Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit in the Khan Yunis area of the Gaza Strip.
