IAF aircraft targeted a squad of terrorists in the central Gaza Strip on Friday evening, shortly after they launched rockets at Israel. A hit was confirmed.
Military sources said the rocket launched by the terrorist squad hit open territory in the Eshkol Regional Council.
“The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will respond with determination to any attempt to use terror against the State of Israel,” the IDF Spokesperson said in a statement. “The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.”
