IDF Response to Gaza Rocket Attack
Earlier today, August 21st, 2016, a rocket hit the city of Sderot. The
rocket was fired at southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. No injuries have
been reported.
In response to the attack, IAF aircraft targeted Hamas positions in the
northern Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of 2016, 14 rockets fired from the Gaza Strip have hit
Israel.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, IDF Spokesman: ”The IDF remains committed to the
stability of the region and operated in order to bring quiet to the people
of southern Israel. When terrorists in Hamas' Gaza Strip, driven by a
radical agenda based on hatred, attack people in the middle of the summer
vacation, their intentions are clear- to inflict pain, cause fear and to
terrorize."
