Meanwhile, Israeli officials reported following an investigation that the Gazan children had died as a result of an Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short and landed in Gaza. The following video documented the incident:
Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel, co-chairman of the Zionist Spirit party, responded to Tibi writing, "Liar. We have in our possession videos that prove beyond a doubt that Israel Defense Forces did not strike in Jabalia in the past few hours - a failed rocket attack by Islamic Jihad is responsible for the killing of children in Jabalia."</blockquote></ref>

Shockingly: Anti-Israel [[AP]] confirmed that Gazan children were killed by PIJ rockets.<ref>"SHOCKING: Anti-Israel AP Confirms That Gazan Children Were Killed By PIJ Rockets," YWN, Aug 9, 2022.<br>[https://wtop.com/middle-east/2022/08/misfired-rockets-may-have-killed-over-a-dozen-in-gaza-battle/ Misfired rockets may have killed over a dozen in Gaza battle], ''The Associated Press'', August 8, 2022.<blockquote>
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Close to one-third of the Palestinians who died in the latest outbreak of violence between Israel and Gaza militants may have been killed by errant rockets fired by the Palestinian side, according to an Israeli military assessment that appears consistent with independent reporting by The Associated Press.
The Israeli military said 47 Palestinians were killed in the weekend of fighting — at least 14 of them by Islamic Jihad-fired rockets that fell short.
No one in Gaza with direct knowledge of the explosions in question was willing to speak about them publicly. But live TV footage showed militant rockets falling short in densely packed residential neighborhoods. And AP visits to the sites of two explosions that killed a total of 12 people lent support to suspicions they were caused by rockets that went off course.
Israel is claiming victory in the weekend clash, in part because it killed two senior Islamic Jihad commanders and because no Israelis were killed or seriously wounded. If it turns out that Islamic Jihad harmed some of those it claims to protect, it would make for an even more humiliating outcome for the militant group and its main sponsor, Iran...
Video footage of the aftermath circulated online, showing what appeared to be a rocket casing sticking out of the ground on a narrow, busy street. When the AP visited the site on Monday, the casing was gone and the hole had been filled in with dirt. Palestinians are usually keen to display evidence of Israeli airstrikes to international media.</blockquote></ref>
Of the 990 that crossed into Israel, Israel’s Iron Dome air-defense system intercepted 380 that would have come down in populated areas; a success rate of 96%, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

More Palestinian noncombatants were killed by misfired PIJ rockets than by Israeli strikes, according to the IDF. Thirty-five Palestinians, 11 of them non-combatants, were killed by Israeli airstrikes during “Operation Breaking Dawn,” while 15 Gaza civilians were killed by failed PIJ rockets, according to IDF figures.</blockquote></ref>

===Terrorists targeting gas rig===
The unsuccessful launch of unmanned aircraft from Gaza toward a gas rig prompted Israel to increase defensive measures.<ref>[https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/defense/1660059279-islamic-jihad-tried-to-launch-drone-toward-tamar-gas-rig-israeli-army Islamic Jihad tried to launch drone toward Tamar gas rig - Israeli army], i24NEWS, August 09, 2022.<blockquote>
The unsuccessful launch of unmanned aircraft from Gaza prompted Israel to increase defensive measures
Israel's military revealed on Tuesday that Gaza's Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) was involved in a failed attempt to launch a drone toward the Tamar gas rig during this past weekend's 'Operation "Breaking Dawn."'
The terrorist group's unsuccessful launch of an unmanned aircraft from Gaza prompted Israel's army to step up its efforts to protect the platform located 14 miles off the coast of Ashkelon in southern Israel.
During the 11-day conflict with Hamas in May 2021, the terrorist rulers of the Gaza Strip fired dozens of rockets toward Tamar, missing the intended target, which is protected by Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system and other defensive measures.
Fuel was removed from the rig and it was temporarily taken offline at the start of the fighting between Hamas and Israel. The move during last year's conflict with Hamas came at the order of then energy minister Yuval Steinitz’s office.
According to Israeli military estimates, the PIJ launched around 1,175 rockets from the Palestinian coastal enclave at Israel during the three days of conflict that ended late Sunday night with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
About 200 failed launches landed in the Gaza Strip. Two of the failed launches resulted in the deaths of about 11 people, including seven children.</blockquote></ref>
