IDF hits Hamas targets including attack tunnel, launchpads targeting Tel Aviv
Judah Ari Gross is The Times of Israel's religions and Diaspora affairs correspondent.
The Israel Defense Forces says it has destroyed a number of Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip this morning, including an attack tunnel, command-and-control center and two underground launchpads.
The military says it bombed an attack tunnel located near the northern Gaza city of Beit Hanoun, as well as two underground launchpads in Jabaliya, north of Gaza City, which the IDF says was used to fire rockets at Tel Aviv earlier this week.
In addition, the IDF says its fighter jets destroyed a Hamas command center “from which the organization oversaw the combat in the current round of fighting.”
