Over thirty rockets, mortar shells and missiles were fired at Israel since the start of the ceasefire, two of them only this morning. In response to the barrage of rockets fired from Gaza in recent days, the Israel Air Force attacked a number of targets in the southern Gaza Strip a short while ago.
Archive: Hamas terror facility targeted by Israeli Air Force
On Thursday evening, an infiltration attempt wad thwarted on the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip. An IDF force identified a suspicious man approaching the fence and entered the area, beginning the regular rules of engagement. The terror operative then drew a hand grenade from his band forcing the soldiers to open fire. The grenade he was holding exploded and the man was killed.
The targets of the air strike included four smuggling tunnels and a weapons storage facility. Secondary explosions were seen following a number of the attacks.
As the sole authority in the Gaza Strip, Hamas bears full responsibility for all the terror activities originating within its area of control.
