IAF strikes 2 targets in Gaza Strip

According to the report, the first strike occurred around 14:00 pm when an IAF plane bombed an Islamic Jihad post west of Khan Younis. Palestinian sources claimed the post was bombarded early on Saturday morning as well.

Reuters news agency reported that a seven-month-old girl was wounded in the Saturday attack.

Early Saturday morning, IAF attacked two Islamic Jihad and Hamas targets in Khan Younis and Nuseirat refugee camp at the center of the Gaza Strip.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit stated that an accurate hit was identified in both strikes.

The "Color Red" alert system sounded just after 10:30 pm in Netivot and the surrounding area. A number of explosions were heard shortly thereafter.

In addition to the Qassam rocket that landed in an open area within the limits of the Sdot Negev Regional Council, terrorists apparently fired another rocket which landed in Palestinian territory.
