In response to the rocket fire, the Israel Defense Forces attacked Hamas terrorist targets in Gaza, the IDF said Friday.
“IDF fighter jets and aircraft had recently attacked a short time ago munitions manufacturing site, a weapons smuggling tunnel and a military post of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Office said in a statement.
“The attack was carried out in response to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory earlier tonight.”
