IAF Hits Weapons Storage Sites in Gaza

IAF aircraft strike two weapons storage sites in northern and southern Gaza, in response to high trajectory fire into Israeli territory.
(INN) IAF aircraft struck two weapons storage sites in northern and southern Gaza on Tuesday night, according to a statement by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

The statement noted that direct hits at the targets were identified. All Israeli planes returned safely to their base.

The attack came in response to high trajectory fire into Israeli territory, the statement said. Earlier on Tuesday, Gaza terrorists fired a mortar shell at a community in southern Israel. The shell hit the Eshkol region and caused a fire. No physical injuries were reported.

On Sunday, IAF aircraft struck a weapons-manufacturing site and a terror tunnel in northern Gaza, also scoring direct hits at the targets.

The attack came after terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza fired a Qassam rocket at southern Israel late Sunday night. The rocket exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. There were no physical injuries or damage.
