The Israel Air Force successfully struck a weapons storage facility overnight in the city of Gaza in the Gaza Strip, identifying a direct hit.

The attack is in response to the recent firing of rockets at Israel's southern communities over the past few days. Ten rockets launched from the Gaza Strip have landed in Israel since this past Thursday, one of which resulted in the death of a foreign national.

Approximately 35 rockets have been fired at Israel since the beginning of the year, and over 330 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel since the end of operation Cast Lead.

The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and will continue to operate firmly against anyone who uses terror against it. The IDF holds Hamas as solely responsible for maintaining peace and quiet in the Gaza Strip.
