Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck Hamas terror targets in the Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday in response to the rockets fired into Israel earlier in the night.
The rockets came as Israeli security forces were on high alert for an escalation in the wake of a major counterterrorism operation in Shechem on Wednesday morning.
The IDF spokesperson said: “IAF fighter jets struck both a weapons manufacturing site and military compound belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization, located in central and northern Gaza. The compound is located adjacent to a mosque, medical clinic, hotel, police station and school.”
“This serves as further evidence as to how the Hamas terrorist organization exploits the civilian population of Gaza by deliberately placing its weaponry in the center of civilian areas.”

It’s a shame they can’t strike them just as they’re engaging their missiles. BANG! Wamo! Pooof
So irresponsible of the terrorists to place their weapons factories and weapons depots in residential areas
why can’t the IDF keep striking these targets if they’re aware of their existence until none remain?
