The fire of machine guns on Thursday night by terrorists on the Gaza border also penetrated a home in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. No one was hurt by the shooting.

Earlier in the night, the IDF attacked terrorist targets in a military compound belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the northern Gaza Strip.

The attack was carried out in response to a bomb placed under cover of the violent riots in the Gaza Strip, which detonated yesterday against an IDF engineering vehicle.

After the strike, a terror cell fired with machine guns at an IAF aircraft, without actually harming it. However, the fire did hit a house in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. Sirens were sounded in response to the shooting. IAF aircraft intercepted the terror cell.

“The IDF holds Hamas accountable for all occurrences originating from Gaza and will respond firmly against all attempts to commit acts of terror towards Israeli civilians or IDF troops,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
