IAF Targets Weapons Manufacturing Sites in Northern Gaza Strip

Overnight, IAF aircraft targeted two weapons manufacturing sites in the
northern Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed and secondary explosions
were identified.

The targeting of these sites is a response to the rocket fire from Gaza at
the Israeli home front during Tuesday, resulting in damage to civilian
structures.

The IDF will not allow the Israeli southern communities to continue living
under constant threat, and will continue to respond with determination to
any attempt to use terror against the citizens of Israel. The IDF holds the
Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for any terrorist activity
emanating from the Gaza Strip.
