The IDF confirms it conducted the strike on a five-story building in the northern Gaza Strip that it says was used by the Hamas terror group, saying the attack was in response to the rocket fire that hit the southern Israeli city of Beersheba this afternoon.

The military says the attack was “an expression of the IDF’s intelligence and operational capabilities, which will expand and intensify as necessary.”

According to reports, the building housed the headquarters of Hamas’s internal security service.
