IDF warplanes targeted Hamas police stations in Gaza early on Saturday morning.  The strikes took place just hours after terrorists fired a mortar shell at the Israeli town of Kfar Aza, murdering father-of-three Jimmy Kedoshim and wounding three others.

Five Hamas terrorists were killed in the strikes, and four Islamic Jihad terrorists were wounded.  Government spokesmen said they would hold Hamas responsible for all attacks from Gaza, explaining, “Hamas is clearly in control of the Gaza Strip and responsible for all hostile fire into Israel.”
