Overnight, IAF aircraft targeted six terror activity sites in the Gaza Strip. Three rocket launching sites and one terror tunnel were targeted in the northern Gaza Strip, and in the southern Gaza Strip two terror activity sites were targeted.

Secondary explosions were observed in certain sites.

Hits were confirmed.

The targeting of the sites is in direct response to the barrage of rockets that hit Israel over the past day.

Overnight, one rocket hit an open area near Be'er-Sheba.  Approximately 10 Grad rockets and over 20 Qassam rockets and mortars hit Israel over the course of the day.

The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will continue to operate with strength and determination against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel. The Hamas terror organization is solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.
