The IDF released a statement saying warplanes and other aircraft bombed Hamas sites including a weapons manufacturing facility. There have been no reports of Palestinian casualties in the IDF attacks.
“The IDF takes all terrorist activity against Israeli territory very seriously and is prepared and ready to act as much as necessary against attempts to harm Israeli citizens and their sovereignty,” the IDF said in a statement. “The terrorist organization Hamas bears responsibility for what is happening in and out of the Gaza Strip, and will bear the consequences of terrorist acts against Israeli citizens.”
On Monday night, four terrorists were killed and three more injured in a ‘work accident’ in the Shujai’ya section of Gaza City. Both Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organizations lost operatives in the explosion. According to local sources, one of the victims was a member of a “missile unit.”
