Air Force jets attacked a weapons factory in the central Gaza Strip, two tunnels in the northern Strip and one tunnel in southern Gaza, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said Monday. The IAF carried out direct hits. Meanwhile, the Ma'an news agency reported that two people were hurt in Israeli bombings in east Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

Last weekend, an IAF jet attacked a terrorist cell "seconds after it fired high-trajectory weapons at Israel," the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said. Earlier, Palestinian sources in Gaza reported that the IAF tried to hit a group moving west of Rafah, twice, without success. According to the report, the group managed to avoid the hits.

On Wednesday, the IDF reported that two Palestinians were killed by an IAF strike on a terrorist cell near the Gaza Strip border.
