GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces command raised state of alert along the borders of the Gaza Strip and its environs on Wednesday after Israeli warplanes killed a commander of the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad movement, earlier today.
The IOF targeted two other Palestinian resistance fighters in central Gaza at dawn Wednesday but they survived the attack with injuries.
Hebrew media sources said that Israeli security leaders ordered cancellation of a number of activities in Beer Sheba and Asdod, and closed southern beaches in anticipation of retaliatory strikes.
The IOF command asked all residents of localities near to the Gaza border to remain near shelters.

The hit was in clear violation of a truce recently reached by Palestinian factions in Gaza and Israel.
The casualties, among them al-Quds Brigades commander Ismail al-Asmar, 34, were targeted by drones while in a car in Tel Sultan west of Rafah, medics told the PIC.
The Islamic Jihad has vowed to respond to the hit as well as to other Israeli crimes.
“We will deal with the enemy in a language it understands well, the language of blood. We will not be silent over its crimes constantly committed against our people,” said islamic Jihad leader Ahmed al-Mudallil in statement aired by Al-Aqsa radio station on Wednesday.
Later on, al-Quds Brigades declared that it bombed three Israeli military sites with six mortar shells after the hit.
It also announced that one of its cells survived an Israeli air strike in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip.

Simply another brutal action of Zionism against the people of Palestine. Best wishes to Palestinian comrades going through this situation, I only hope that they're capable of overcoming Zionist colonialism and building a state representative of the Palestinian people. In the words of Malcolm X 'By any means necessary.'
