The Israeli Defence Force ( IDF) struck targets allegedly belonging to the Hamas group throughout the Gaza Strip on Thursday night.
The attack was in response to rocket fire earlier from the Strip towards Israel, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
The targets included ammunition manufacturing site, a weapons smuggling tunnel and a military post, according to the IDF.
At least six strikes were carried out by the IDF on Thursday night, according to Palestinian media.
A rocket landed in an open area in Israeli territory earlier on Thursday evening, setting off rocket sirens in Sderot, Ibim and Nir Am in southern Israel.
Earlier on Thursday, an unarmed Palestinian was detained by the IDF after he infiltrated into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
