At least three people have been injured, including one in serious condition, due to the impact in the Israeli city of Sderot of a projectile fired from the Gaza Strip, amid a rise in tensions after the death of Jader Adnan, a senior Islamic Jihad official who had been on hunger strike for more than 85 days in an Israeli jail.

The Red Star of David service has indicated through its account on the social network Twitter that three people have suffered injuries from shrapnel impact and has detailed that all of them have been transferred to the Barzilai hospital. “One is in a serious condition and two are in a mild condition,” he said.

The Israeli Army, which had confirmed shortly before that tanks had attacked points in the Strip in response to the launch of projectiles earlier in the day for the death of Adnan, has indicated that 22 projectiles have been fired as part of the last shots from the enclave.

“Air defense systems have intercepted four of the launches, while 16 have hit open areas,” he said on his Twitter account. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is monitoring the situation, while Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has said that “anyone who tries to cause harm to the citizens of Israel will be sorry,” The Times reported. of Israel’.

After Adnan’s death, Islamic Jihad had stated that “the assassination will not go unanswered and the resistance will continue with all its strength and determination,” while the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) — which controls the enclave — has stressed that “the occupation and its fascist government will pay the price for this crime.”

Adnan, 45, was arrested on February 5 in his town of residence, Arrabé, at which time he announced the start of a hunger strike, as he had done on previous occasions during his stays in prison. Thus, he refused to undergo medical examinations and treatments, according to Palestinian media reports.
