According to AP [1] the death toll has risen to 20, "including at least eight militants". It's also important to separate militants from civilians. Since this is a reliable source, I think we can safely update the number of dead to include civilians and militants (12 civilians, 8 militants). Alex.osheter ( talk) 18:48, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Since Hamas is not a nation and they are targeting Jewish civilains, the term terrorist not militant should be used. 72.22.189.98 ( talk) 15:55, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
The source cited, The Times of Israel, does not say that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is responsible for the sniper fire. It says, "The Palestinian Islamic Jihad also said it held Israel responsible for the deaths, but did not claim responsibility for the sniper shooting." ---聽 Coffeeand crumbs 06:40, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
"The violence began two days ago when a sniper from the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad fired at Israeli troops, wounding two soldiers, according to the Israeli military.[2] - says this in its own voice. Per my check multiple later sources (from 5 May, 6 May) - say so in their own voice - there were subsequent developments here during the fighting/negotiations regarding IJ's initial role in instigating this. Icewhiz ( talk) 06:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
"Saturday鈥檚 escalation in violence came a day after two Israeli soldiers were wounded by a Gaza sniper and four Palestinians were killed."[3] - just placing the sniper on the Gazan side. CNN -
"Also during the demonstrations, a sniper in Gaza wounded two Israeli soldiers near the border. Israel responded by striking a Hamas military post, killing two members of Hamas' military wing."[4]. Might be simpler to roll with "Gazan sniper", and add maybe add a ", possibly Islamic Jihad". Icewhiz ( talk) 11:21, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Does it only matter the U.S. and EU? -- LLcentury ( talk) 16:41, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
A total of 660 rockets were fired from Gaza. <ref> Yediot Achronot May 5 2019. Haircat ( talk) 11:33, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
May the other nations' reactions be included? not only the U.S.' and EU's? Thanks. -- LLcentury ( talk) 12:42, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
