The IDF struck targets in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Monday morning in response to a rocket fired into Israel on Sunday.
Meanwhile, rocket sirens went off in the Gaza border area communities of Kissufim and Ein Hashlosha, with one rocket fired into Israel and intercepted by an Iron Dome, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit. This marks four days in a row that rockets were fired from the Strip into Israel, and the fifth rocket fired since the conclusion of Operation Guardians of the Wall in May.
Israeli forces struck four military outposts with a number of Hamas assets. These included training complexes, weapons manufacturing and storage centers and a terrorist tunnel.
