Let's look at their "victory."
Over 1,200 rockets were fired by Islamic Jihad and its allied terror groups. Those rockets killed six civilians.
Five of them were Gazan, including three children.
 |
| Layan Belal Mohammed Modawikh, 8 Killed by an Islamic Jihad rocket on 5-story house on al-Sahaba Street in Gaza City |
 |
| Yazan Jawdat ‘Eliyan, 16 or 17 Killed in same incident |
 |
| Rami Shadi Mousa Hamdan, 16 Killed by Islamic Jihad rocket on his house in Beit Hanoun, Gaza |
 |
| Ahmed Mohammed al-Shebaki, 50 Killed by Islamic Jihad rocket in Qleibo area in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza |
 |
| Abdullah Abu Jaba, 34 Gazan killed when a PIJ rocket hit a building near Shokeda, Israel, where he was working |
 |
| Inga Abramian, 80 The only Israeli victim of PIJ rocket fire, Rehovot |
This the the "victory" that they say Gazans were celebrating this morning - killing five of their own civilians and one elderly Israeli woman. As far as I can tell, they did not damage a single military asset.
Palestinian "human rights groups" know very well that the four Palestinians killed in Gaza were victims of Palestinian rockets. PCHR admits this explicitly, saying "PCHR’s preliminary investigations indicate casualties fell after homemade rockets had fallen in three incidents" which were the three incidents listed here; Al Mezan says they were killed by "projectiles" which is their euphemism for Gaza rockets that fell short.
Even though these deaths are documented by Palestinians themselves, I have yet to see a single "human rights group" condemn Islamic Jihad for killing four civilians in Gaza and two in Israel.
Every single civilian killed this past week was either killed by Palestinian rocket fire or were involuntarily acting as human shields for Palestinian militants who were legitimate targets under international law.
