IDF says it struck Hamas targets in response to explosive device launched into Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF confirms that an attack helicopter bombed two Hamas observation posts in the eastern Gaza Strip, saying it was in response to the launch of an explosive device into southern Israel earlier today.
There are no immediate reports of Palestinian injuries.
“Hamas is responsible for everything that happens in the Gaza Strip and [for attacks] from it,” the army says.
The explosive device, which was flown into Israel using balloons and a drone-shaped glider, was detonated as a police bomb disposal robot inspected it, police said earlier.
No injuries were caused by the blast.
