The
IDF launched an airstrike on Gaza early Wednesday morning in response
to rockets fired into southern Israel from the territory, the army said
in a statement.
The air force targeted concealed rocket launchers in the northern Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed.
Peter Lerner, an IDF spokesman, said the air
force was safeguarding Israeli civilians and targeting terror cells.
“The IDF air strikes were conducted in response to the rocket launched
at the civilians living in the Sha’ar HaNegev regional council yesterday
(Tuesday) evening,” Lerner said in the statement. “This is an absurd
situation that would not be tolerated anywhere else in the world. The
IDF is charged with, and will continue to operate in order to safeguard
Israel’s civilians, and combat terror and its infrastructure the in the
Gaza Strip.” Read more at The Times of Israel.
