| IDF strikes Gaza after Sderot rocket fire following Jenin op. | |
| 2023-07-05 | |
The IDF struck the Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning after five rockets were fired from the Strip toward the Sderot area in southern Israel on Tuesday night, just hours after the IDF withdrew its forces from Jenin. All five rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome. A house in Sderot was hit by shrapnel from one of the rockets, according to the Sderot Municipality. No injuries were reported. A site in the northern Gaza Strip near Beit Lahia and a site west of Gaza City were hit by IAF airstrikes, according to Palestinian reports. The IDF stated that it struck an underground facility used by Hamas's chemical division to manufacture weapons, as well as a Hamas site for the manufacture of raw materials for rockets. "This attack constitutes an injury to the ability of the terrorist organization Hamas to strengthen and arm itself," said the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. "The terrorist organization Hamas bears responsibility for what is happening in the Gaza Strip and is the one who will pay for the security violations against the State of Israel." | |
