Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli Air Force fighter planes targeted three Hamas positions in the northwestern Gaza Strip, after a rocket fired from the coastal enclave this morning struck an open field south of Ashkelon, the army says.
The Hamas-affiliated al-Shehab media outlet says the Israeli planes targeted positions west of Jabalia in the northern Strip.

This round of airstrikes joins an earlier IDF tank attack on Hamas positions, following the rocket that struck Israel this morning.
