Israeli warplanes took to the air overnight Thursday, retaliating after rockets were fired from Gaza.
Hamas sources said that two rockets were fired into Israel on Thursday night. The IDF said that one such rocket damaged an abandoned building. In response, an Israeli military aircraft targeted what was described as a "terror activity site" in the central Gaza Strip overnight.
"A direct hit was confirmed," the statement added.
At around 1 a.m. Friday, an Israeli missile struck a Hamas military base located east of the al-Maghazi refugee camp, according to Hamas security sources. Israeli warplanes remained in the skies at least 40 minutes later, they added. |
