Jets hit Hamas sites in northern Gaza after rocket fire at Sderot

Israeli fighter jets and other aircraft struck several sites belonging to terror groups in the northern Gaza Strip following rocket fire from the area on the southern city of Sderot last night, the military says.

The targets included a building and other infrastructure, according to the IDF.

Two of the three rockets fired at Sderot were downed by the Iron Dome, and shrapnel caused slight damage to a home.

In another incident, surveillance soldiers of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit spotted an armed cell in the Beit Hanoun area, and called in a drone strike, the IDF says.

The strikes come as the troops continue to operate in central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor. In one incident, the IDF says troops of the Yiftah Brigade spotted a group of gunmen at a building known to be used by terror groups, and called in an airstrike.
