| [IsraelTimes] IDF says two of the terror group’s ’posts’ struck in Paleostinian enclave, hours after projectile lands in southern Israel Israeli jets struck two Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, targets in the Gazoo Strip overnight Tuesday, hours after a rocket fired from the Paleostinian enclave hit an open area in southern Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement that in response to the projectile attack in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council earlier Tuesday, "IAF aircraft targeted two Hamas posts in the northern Gazoo Strip." There were no immediate reports of injuries. On Tuesday evening, warning sirens blared in southern Israel as the rocket from the Gazoo Strip was fired into the country. It struck an open area in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, the army said. While no group immediately claimed Tuesday’s rocket fire, Israel holds Hamas responsible for all rockets emanating from the Strip. Hamas, the terror group that rules Gazoo, has largely refrained from firing rockets into Israel since it fought a devastating war with Israel in 2014. Launches have often been ascribed to radical Salafist groups. |
