In Israel, a suicide bombing at an open-air market in the town of Hadera killed 5 Israelis and wounded over 30 others Wednesday. Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, calling the attack a retaliation for Israel’s killing of Luay Saadi, a leader of the group’s military wing, on Monday. Following the bombing, Israel launched air strikes on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting the Israeli government has approved a “major military operation” into Palestinian areas. In the West Bank, the Israeli army plans to impose a curfew, close off all border crossings, and bar all travel within the territory’s northern area. In northern Gaza, Israeli tanks will enter near Beit Hanun, and ground forces will be deployed for a possible large-scale operation.
