IDF artillery and IAF fire on Hamas sites in Gaza

It's been a busy couple of days along the Gaza border.
[IsraelTimes] Mortar volley on IDF positions since Tuesday sparks return fire by IDF tanks, aircraft; Paleostinian woman killed Thursday

Paleostinian media reported early Friday that IDF artillery had begun shelling sites in the southern Gazoo Strip.

The army has been targeting Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, installations in the coastal territory following a spate of some 20 mortar attacks from Gazoo that began Tuesday and targeted IDF troops on the border fence between Gazoo and Israel.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the latest barrage. The IDF did not immediately confirm the reports.

On Thursday, a Paleostinian woman was killed when Israeli tank shells hit her home east of Khan Younis in the southern Gazoo Strip, the southern city’s Nasser hospital said. The woman was identified by the hospital as Zeina al-Amour, 54. The Hamas-affiliated Paleostinian news agency Shehab posted photos on Facebook from the aftermath of the tank fire.

Paleostinian media also reported that a number of people were maimed in a series of Israeli Arclight airstrikes in the area of Rafah on Thursday, also in the southern Gazoo Strip.

The Israeli Air Force confirmed its aircraft hit four military posts belonging to Hamas, the de facto rulers of the Paleostinian enclave, Thursday afternoon.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency meeting of the security cabinet Thursday evening to discuss the escalation in violence along Israel’s southern border.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon warned Hamas that Israel would not tolerate any attempts to disrupt the lives of its citizens.

"Terrorist elements in the Gazoo Strip need to know that if they try to disrupt our lives, they will delivered a severe blow," he said at a service to mark the end of Holocaust Remembrance Day. "We will not tolerate a return to a routine of shooting and attempts to harm our civilians and soldiers. We will take firm action with an iron fist, as we have in the past few days, against the terrorist organizations in the Strip, led by Hamas, which is responsible for the shooting and incidents in Gazoo."
