Tensions in the south: An IDF spokesman announced last night (Monday) that two launches had been identified from the northern Gaza Strip in the direction of Ashdod.
Palestinian documentation: IDF attack in the southern Gaza Strip
Following the launch of the rockets, IAF fighter jets attacked Hamas terrorist targets in the southern Gaza Strip. The IDF spokesman said that the army “takes very seriously any terrorist activity against Israel and is prepared and ready to act as resolutely as necessary, against attempts to harm Israeli citizens and their sovereignty.” “The terrorist organization Hamas bears responsibility for what is happening in and out of the Gaza Strip, and it will bear the consequences of the terrorist acts against the citizens of Israel.”
Hamas blamed the Islamic Jihad launches three weeks ago, saying the shooting was “contrary to an agreement and understanding reached between factions in the joint coalition and the terrorist organizations, and without an order from the Islamic Jihad High Command.”
