IDF confirms new Gaza strikes, says Hamas positions targeted
The IDF confirms that it carried out a fresh wave of airstrikes against “three terrorist infrastructures belonging to the Hamas terrorist group” in the Gaza Strip.
The army says the bombardment was in response not only to today’s rocket attack and gunfire, but also in light of a number of small-scale incidents along the security fence.
“The IDF will continue to defend Israeli civilians against the threats emanating from Hamas’s Gaza,” IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says in a statement.
