The IDF confirmed the strike, adding that the targets included three terror tunnels in Gaza's south and a weapons mill in its center. The targets were destroyed and secondary explosions were noted in several of the sites.

 

According to Palestinian sources, the targets included a tunnel east of Rafah, a building in Rafah and a building east of southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis, as well as a building in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

 

The Palestinians added that a teenage boy and a four-year-old girl were injured in a strike in Beit Lahiya. The strike on a target in Jabalya resulted in a fire, which the Palestinian Fire Department was able to get under control.

 

The IDF believes that Gaza-based terror groups, which do not follow Hamas' orders, were responsible for Wednesday's rocket fire on Israel.

 

The seven rockets landed in Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council limits, causing no injuries or damage.
