The Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas weapons manufacturing site in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday in a pre-dawn sortie, following a Gazan rocket attack on southern Israel on Monday evening.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said it held “the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for all terror activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.”
The IDF said an Iron Dome missile-defense battery successfully intercepted the projectile in mid-air. There were no reports of injuries or damages.
This was the first Gazan rocket attack against Israel in seven months, according to a report Kan News.
Also on Tuesday, the IDF, together with the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), conducted joint counterterrorism overnight throughout the West Bank. The forces apprehended a total of five suspects, said the military.
