The IDF attacked in Gaza overnight Saturday, in retaliation for two rockets launched earlier on Saturday towards central Israel.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that “fighter jets and fighter helicopters a short time ago attacked a series of targets in a Hamas terrorist rocket compound. In addition, tanks attacked Hamas military positions on the Gaza Strip border.”

“The scope of the targets and the type of targets were attacked in response to the rocket fire this morning, from the Gaza Strip to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, west of Gush Dan,” the statement added.

“According to foreign media reports, the IDF at close to midnight began attacking targets in northern Gaza, in response to the rocket fire towards Gush Dan (central Israel) during the morning, which was claimed to have occurred by mistake,” a Maariv report said.
