Following the pre-air Strikes carried out by Israel against Islamic Jihad in Palestine, not less than nine people have died.
It was also gathered that the shelling destroyed buildings and injured several persons.
The incident was confirmed by Gaza military and Health ministry as they affirmed that women and children were among the victim of the sad incident.
The explosion occurred as a result of Israeli army trying to capture three Islamic Jihad leaders, which they referred to as terrorists.
The three Jihad leaders are identified as Jihad Ghannam, Khalil Al-Bahtani and Tareq Ezzedine.
It was reported that the shooting between the two groups, the terrorists and the Israeli army lasted for about two hours, with an explosion during the process.
The incident occured days after the Islamic Jihad gave notice of truce around Gaza, with the help of Egypt as a result of one of Jihad members who had been on hunger strike, dying in a Israeli prison.
