The IDF says it struck and killed a Hamas terrorist who fired mortars at southern Israel earlier today, minutes after the attack.

The mortars fired from the Jabaliya area in northern Gaza landed in open areas in Israel, causing no injuries.

The IDF says the Gaza Division spotted the launch and called in an airstrike against the operative, which was carried out minutes later.
