The IDF said in statement that it bombed a Hamas observation post
in the central Gaza Strip in retaliation for the rocket fire.
On Monday, the IDF struck two Hamas positions in Gaza, including an office belonging to a high-profile commander in the terror group’s military wing, in response to rockets being fired at southern Israel during a mass event.
Soon after the rocket launches and the IDF attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered to cut in half the amount of fuel being transferred to Gaza via the Kerem Shalom border crossing, until further notice.
