The Israeli Air Force struck several targets in Gaza on Monday night, the IDF Spokesperson reported.

The targets included a weapons manufacturing site in central Gaza, two terror tunnels in northern Gaza and a third terrorist tunnel in southern Gaza.

According to the statement, the aircraft scored direct hits and all safely returned to their bases.

The Spokesperson noted that the attack comes in response to recent firing of rockets and mortar shells from Gaza into Israeli territory in recent days.

“The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to act against anyone who uses terrorism against Israel,” the statement read. “The Hamas terrorist organization holds responsibility” for any attacks on Israelis, the statement added.

Monday night’s attack comes after an IAF attack Friday night on a terrorist cell in Gaza. The attack came following a mortar shelling attack on the Western Negev and another attempt to plant bombs at the security fence.

The IDF said aircraft score a direct hit on the terrorists, but Hamas claimed no one was injured.

Hamas and other terrorist cells have attacked Israel with at least several rockets and mortar shells the past three weeks. On Sunday, a Qassam rocket launched by terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza landed in an open area of the Eshkol Council region. There were no reports of physical injuries or damage.

Last Thursday night, two Qassams were fired from Gaza towards Israel, one exploding in the western Negev and the second one in the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council. There were no physical injuries or damage in either attack.

Terrorists have also made numerous attempts to plant bombs intended to blow up army jeeps on the patrol route next to the Gaza security fence. Last week, aircraft and tanks killed at least two terrorists who were planting bombs.
