The strike comes after days of tensions following the arrest of a senior militant in the occupied West Bank on Monday
Tensions have been high around Gaza for days, following the arrest by Israel of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader in the West Bank earlier in the week.
Israel says attempts to get PIJ to climb down have been exhausted, and so they've now decided to act first and launched"Operation Breaking Dawn". Israeli officials are making it clear this was a strike against a PIJ target, not against Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza. That message has been passed onto Hamas via backchannels.
Hamas, which Israel says it wants to keep out of this, must now decide what it does next. If the group joins forces with PIJ and fires rockets into Israel, then things could escalate very quickly, and we could be looking at a second war in as many years.
