Israeli jets strike Gaza after rocket attack
[IsraelTimes] Army says it targeted 2 Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, posts in the Strip, hours after projectile explodes in south of countryIsraeli aircraft struck in the Gazoo Strip Sunday night, hours after a rocket fired from the territory went kaboom!in Israel. The army said it targeted two Hamas military posts in northern and central Gazoo. There were no immediate reports of Paleostinian casualties. The IDF noted that it holds Hamas rulers responsible for any attacks emanating from the Strip. The rocket prompted air-raid sirens in multiple communities in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, the IDF said. Residents of Sha'ar HaNegev, a group of communities bordering the Gazoo Strip, said they heard a loud kaboom, but no injuries or damage were reported. The military said the rocket landed in an open area. Israel regularly carries out limited air strikes on Hamas targets in response to sporadic rocket-fire, though it is believed that the rockets are fired by fringe groups inside Gazoo, rather than by Hamas. The latest attack came as Hamas demanded the release of prisoners held in Israeli jails in exchange for information on the fate of two IDF soldiers declared killed in action during last summer's Gazoo war.
