The Israeli Air Force struck terrorist targets adjacent to a humanitarian route in Gaza from where Hamas fired two rockets at Tel Aviv on Tuesday, the IDF said.

The airstrikes in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, were carried out outside of the humanitarian route, the Israel Defense Forces emphasised.

In the terrorist group's first attack targeting Tel Aviv since May, one rocket landed in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of central Israel, and the other fell short inside the Strip.

The rockets were reportedly of the M-90 variety, with a range of 56.5 miles.

No air-raid sirens were activated as the projectiles were not on course to hit populated areas.

"The Hamas terrorist organization continues to deliberately embed its military assets used to carry out attacks against Israel next to humanitarian infrastructure and the civilian population inside the Gaza Strip," the IDF said on Wednesday morning, providing an infographic of the area where the rockets were launched.

IDF troops continue to operate in south, and central Gaza

Israeli forces are continuing to operate in Tel al-Sultan, just north of Rafah City, the former Hamas stronghold in southernmost Gaza along the Egyptian border.

Over the past 24 hours, troops killed armed terrorists and located large amounts of weapons, ammunition, grenades and additional explosive devices.

Furthermore, IDF troops dismantled terrorist infrastructure in central Gaza, as well as sniper and observational posts.

Additionally, IDF soldiers continue operational activities in Khan Yunis.

Over the past 24 hours, the IAF struck more than 40 terrorist infrastructure sites throughout the Gaza Strip, including structures where terrorists fired anti-tank missiles and terrorists posed a threat to IDF troops.
