The leaders of armed Palestinian factions in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip are taking heightened precautions over concerns they could be targeted by Israel following several recent deadly terror attacks, according to Arabic-language media reports.

Sources in the “resistance” tell the Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news site that Palestinian figures in Lebanon have also adopted enhanced security measures, saying they take the Israeli threats seriously.

In comments to the pro-Hezbollah Al-Akhbar daily, a source warns of a “major escalation” if Israel carries out any targeted killings.
