Tensions in the Gaza Strip, rockets kill 5-year-old girl

Tensions remain high between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Dozens of rockets fired from Gaza lit up the sky after Israeli airstrikes killed at least 10 people.

Militant leader Tayseer Jabari was among those killed.

Israel said the attacks followed an "immediate threat" from its Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group.

A 5-year-old girl in Gaza also died, local health officials said, and dozens more were injured, the BBC reports.

The PIJ responded by firing more than 100 rockets into Israel overnight "in an initial response."

Most were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense shield, but sirens sounded in a number of Israeli cities throughout the night.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they had resumed rocket attacks against multiple militant positions in Gaza, continuing the attacks into the early hours of Saturday morning.

The overnight firefight marks the most serious escalation of violence since the 11-day war in May 2021, which left more than 200 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis dead before a ceasefire was agreed.

Egypt, which has acted as a mediator between the two sides in the past, is said to be offering to act as a mediator once again in an attempt to prevent further escalation.

Cairo officials were preparing on Saturday to host a possible delegation of PIJ representatives as part of that process, Egyptian media said.
