The Israel Defense Forces struck Hamas assets in the Gaza Strip overnight Sunday in response to a rocket launched into Israel the previous day.
IAF Fighter jets targeted an underground rocket manufacturing site belonging to Hamas, constituting a blow to the Palestinian terrorist group’s ability to fortify and arm itself, the IDF said in a statement.
Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from Gaza, said the IDF.
During the Israeli strike, Palestinian terrorists fired four surface-to-air rockets at the jets, causing alarms to sound in the Israeli city of Sderot and in surrounding areas along the border, including Kibbutz Ruhama.
