16.11 The airstrike that killed Jabari follows an intense wave of rocket attacks by Hamas last weekend. More than 70 rockets and mortars landed in Israel from Gaza within 24 hours, leaving six Palestinians killed and eight Israelis injured. Benjamin Netanyahu indicated at the time that Israel may launch a ground invasion in response: "The world needs to understand that Israel will not sit idly by in the face of attempts to attack us. We are prepared to intensify the response."
