A senior Israeli defense official says, “Israel has not committed to stopping the targeted killings of terror elements.”
The remarks come amid reports about a potential ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Some reports have suggested Israel will not carry out further targeted killings of terror group members.
Operation Shield and Arrow was launched early Tuesday with the killing of three top Islamic Jihad commanders in the wake of recent rocket fire. Earlier this morning, another Islamic Jihad commander was killed in an Israeli strike.
