Gaza Terrorists Attack Israel during Passover Holiday
A short while ago, IAF aircraft targeted two terror activity sites in the southern Gaza Strip and a third site in the central Gaza Strip, in response to the latest severe aggression emanating from Gaza. Direct hits were confirmed.
Yesterday evening, an IED was activated against IDF soldiers patrolling the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip. 12 hours later; at around 07:15 today, Palestinian militants fired an anti-tank missile at an IDF patrol along the security fence in the same area, causing no damage or injuries. Since this morning, 7 rockets were fired from Gaza, hitting southern Israel. One rocket caused damage to civilian infrastructure in Sderot.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, IDF Spokesman: “Israeli civilians celebrating the Passover Holiday woke up this morning to the sound of Code-Red alarms and rockets. It is our obligation to seek out and target those who wish to attack our civilians and soldiers and to eliminate their capabilities. Hamas rocket terrorism is an intolerable reality Israelis should not have to accept”.
Since the beginning of 2014, 100 rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israel.
