The White House on May 9 called on Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to “de-escalate” amid tensions between the two groups, with the latter launching hundreds of rockets in the past month.

“We are closely following Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip that killed three leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” a National Security Council spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
