The Israel Defense Forces bombed Gaza for the second time in the last two days. Late at night, Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out airstrikes on what is reported to be Hamas’ ‘weapons manufacturing sites’.
The previous strikes were carried out in the early hours of July 2nd.
According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strikes targeted a weapons production facility belonging to the Gaza-ruling terror group. A rocket launcher was also reportedly targeted.
The strikes were carried out in response to the continued launching of incendiary balloons toward Israeli territory that cause fire in Israel.
“The IDF will continue to respond firmly to all terror attempts emanating from the Gaza Strip.” – the IDF statement reads.
Several videos showing the attacks were shared on social media.
Gaza Strip is being bombed yet again tonight.
