The IDF confirmed that it struck four Hamas targets in the northern Gazoo, with Paleostinian sources saying the bombings occurred near the town of Beit Lahiya. The Hamas Health Ministry said 10-year-old Yassin Sleiman Abu Khusa was killed and his 6-year-old sister Yasmin and 13-year-old brother were maimed in the The IDF had no immediate comment about the reports of Paleostinian casualties in the strikes. At least four rockets launched from the Gazoo Strip landed in an open field near the southern Israeli city of Sderot on Friday night. No injuries or damage were reported in the attack. All four rockets fell in open areas. Rocket sirens sounded in the Sha’ar Hanegev area and in Sderot ahead of the projectiles’ fall. No organization has yet grabbed credit for the launch, which came at around the same time as a shooting attack in the West Bank that left two IDF soldiers lightly hurt. Israel has said in the past that it holds the Gazoo-based Hamas terrorist group, which rules the Strip, as responsible for any attacks initiated from within the Paleostinian coastal enclave.
