										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Palestinian militant commander dies in a rocket fire by Israel on Monday. This further led to several air attacks from the Islami groups on the cities of Israel. The violence has now entered its second week and the fatalities are serious. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has requested all the sides to protect civilians. He also added that Washington has been working continuously to stop the conflict.</p>
<p>According to the Gaza health officials, the death toll reached 201 last week, which also included 58 children and 34 women. The Israeli authorities said that 10 people were killed in Israel including two children.</p>
<p>The death of the Hussam Abu Harmeed, the armed commander of north Gaza&#8217;s Islamic Jihad will most certainly draw an aggressive response from the militant group.</p>
<p>The Israeli military said,&#8221;Harbeen had been behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against Israeli civilians&#8221;. However the militant groups in Gaza have not given any sign of stopping the fights. Later after the incident, Islamic Jihad said that it had fired rockets on the coastal cities of Israel. Israel has also bombed the underground tunnels used by Hamas to take revenge for the attack on their coastal cities.</p>
