Israel launched a preemptive mission—Operation Breaking Dawn—on Friday to stop "PIJ from firing anti-tank missiles from northern Gaza into Israel," said Avivi.   

Avivi stressed the importance of connecting the dots between Iran’s regime and its proxies in the region. "It was no accident that the PIJ [attacks] happened as the secretary-general of PIJ, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, was meeting with [the Islamic Republic’s President Ebrahim] Raisi in Iran."
