Due to the security events unfolding in Gaza and likely Israel, I'm starting a thread where all relevant information on the actions of Palestinian militant organizations & the IDF will be posted here. Academics, journalists & government officials are welcome to use this material.
Hezbollah has issued a statement mourning the death of PIJ commander al-Jabari. The group extends its "deepest condolences and sympathy to the brothers in the Islamic Jihad movement." Hezbollah also expressed support for the actions PIJ will take in response to the killings.
The IDF has targeted a rocket launch site in Khan Yunis.
My latest piece on today's security event unfolding in Gaza.
Rumors say PIJ and other Palestinian factions will respond to Israel's military operation at 9 p.m. local time which is 8 minutes from now. The 9 p.m. time is symbolic due it coinciding with the time rockets would be launched under the orders or former PIJ commander Abu al-Atta.
Palestinian militant groups have begun their response. Red Alerts have been issued for Ashkelon and Ashdod. Image
Major response ongoing by Palestinian militant groups. Image
Iron Dome Tamir interceptors launched in response to rocket attack from Gaza.

Sirens can be heard in Tel Aviv as rocket alerts have been issued just south of the city.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad statement: "As part of its initial response to the crime of assassinating the great commander, "Taysir al-Jabari" and his martyred brothers... Saraya al-Quds bombarded Tel Aviv, the central cities and its surroundings with more than 100 missiles."

Much of today's events stem from the uptick in militant activity in the West Bank led by Islamic Jihad. @FDD's @LongWarJournal has been closely monitoring the activity since last yr. I invite those who are interested to read our reports to understand what's led to this conflict.
View from Gaza where rockets fired by Palestinian groups are intercepted by Iron Dome Tamir interceptors.
My initial observation regarding the rocket fire that began hours ago: At the moment it is led by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in support of smaller militant groups. It appears Hamas isn't operationally active in the fighting, maybe lending support by other means.
That can change at any moment. But for now, there has not been any statements made by Hamas' so-called military spokesperson, Abu Obedia.

How do we know that the Israeli military is doing an effective job at destroying Hamas' ability to fire rockets from Gaza? The last Hamas declaration of responsibility for firing rockets at Israel was over a month ago on March 25. On that day, they fired rockets at Ashdod.
Sporadic rocket fire continues on southern Israel but it is being carried out by smaller Palestinian terrorist organizations. It's also noteworthy to mention the groups are not firing significant barrages. They are firing a handful at a time at best.
There have been a few Hamas claims of responsibility for firing rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon.

President Biden and his national-security team watched with mounting alarm on April 13 as monitors in the White House Situation Room showed 30, then 60, then over 100 Iranian ballistic missiles streaking toward Israel. wsj.com/articles/white…
Iranian cruise missiles and a swarm of drones were already in the air, timed to arrive at the same time as the missiles—a massive barrage that Biden and his aides feared could overwhelm the strengthened defenses they and Israel had spent more than a week preparing.
The scale of Tehran’s first-ever direct attack on Israel matched U.S. spy agencies’ worst-case scenarios, U.S. officials said later. It threatened not only a close U.S. ally, but Biden’s hopes of preventing a six-month Middle East crisis from widening into an all-out regional war

The United Nations Human Rights Office in the Occupied Territories said (@OHCHR_Palestine) in a December statement that it verified Israel killed journalist, founder, and director of Gaza Now, Mustafa Ayyash. However, Gaza Now stated today he was arrested in Austria. Image
Moreover, the journalist and his media organization were slapped with sanctions by the Treasury department for raising funds that went to terrorism a few days ago. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

1/ Almost four months into the war Hamas started with Israel, Palestinian armed groups are showing signs of increased cooperation. Terrorist organizations like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PFLP, and others, are publishing statements and evidence claiming joint attacks against Israel.
2/ There are several possible reasons for this change. Rocket and mortar supply is finite, and 120 days of fighting has likely dwindled the ammunition of most, if not all, terror groups. By cooperating, groups can share resources and attack Israeli targets more effectively.
3/ Increased cooperation can also be a signal to the Israelis that the terror groups in Gaza are still intact and can launch attacks against IDF troops and Israeli cities with some effectiveness.

From my conversations with folks here in Israel, a response is expected following the targeted killing of Saleh al-Arouri and company earlier tonight. However, Hamas is unlikely to have the capability to mount a large-scale, days long attack like it could have before October 7.
Additionally, Hamas may mount attacks from southern Lebanon. Nevertheless, Hezbollah is the key factor. Despite Arouri being killed in Beirut, the operation was very clean. Little collateral damage occurred to Hezbollah.
And I'm not sure if Nasrallah is willing to risk an all-out assault on Israel for Hamas. Though I do expect something so Nasrallah can show that he keeps his word when Israel crosses red lines he drew in previous speeches.
