Background
On 3 August, Israeli forced arrested Bassem Saadi, the Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank. In the aftermath of the attack, amid heightened tensions, roads were closed in the south of Israel by the Israeli-Gaza border wall and reinforcements were sent south after threats of attack from Gaza.
Early on 5 August, Tor Wennesland, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process reportedly visited the home of arrested Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Bassem Saadi in Jenin and met with his family members as part of efforts to prevent an escalation between Israel and the PIJ.
Civil defence
The Israeli Home Front Command warned civilians within a range of 80 kms from Gaza to prepare for rocket fire.
Operation
Israel began with the targeted killing of Tayseer Jabari, the military leader of Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine. Palestinian medical sources said several people arrived at hospital after Israeli raids. At least 10 more PIJ militants were killed in IDF strikes.
