The IAF launched a strike roughly an hour ago, against a number of targets in the Gaza Strip. The IAF
fighter jets reported direct hits on their targets; a weapons cache belonging to the Islamic Jihad based in Gaza City, a building belonging to Islamic Jihad operatives in the central Gaza Strip, and a Hamas owned building in the southern Gaza Strip. This strike took place after projectiles were launched at the Israeli city of Ashkelon this morning and after continuous projectile fire which has been taking place from the Strip into Israeli territory.
Additionally, two armed gunmen who had barricaded themselves inside a house adjacent to IDF forces operating in the southern Gaza strip this morning were killed by IDF fire. The gunmen fired at the forces using light weapons, and also fired anti-tank missiles. The tanks returned fire with shells directed at the source of fire, and the two gunmen were killed. Two other Palestinians who were in the house with the gunmen were also killed.
