Islamic Jihad admits that Israel killed its people. But it claims that Israel attacked residential buildings:
The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine announced, on Thursday evening, 11/14/2024, to our great Palestinian people and to the sons of our Arab and Islamic nation, a group of the movement’s sons who were martyred in the sinful aggression that targeted the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Thursday evening.Jihad said in a statement that reached the Palestine Today News Agency: “The barbaric aggression launched by the enemy army against a number of civilian institutions and residential homes comes within the framework of its ongoing crimes against the peoples of our nation, and reflects its military failure in confronting the resistance forces on the ground, especially in Gaza and southern Lebanon.”
Israel says that it attacked the Islamic Jihad military headquarters in Damascus. Islamic Jihad their fighters were killed in civilian areas.
They are both telling the truth. Islamic Jihad is putting its military in civilian areas - in Damascus, in Lebanon, in Gaza, in the West Bank.
This time, in their eagerness to charge Israel as attacking civilian areas, they are admitting to a war crime.
The video of the airstrike shows that it was in an urban neighborhood, so almost certainly Islamic Jihad was holed up in an apartment building.
