The IAF has attacked Thursday a number of targets in the southern part of Gaza Strip in response to ongoing rocket fire at Israel which has seen four houses suffer direct hits.
The IDF said that the attacks' goal was to prevent additional rocket fire at Israel. Earlier in the day a security official said Israel believes Hamas is behind the rocket fire at Israel, and has begun to move forces to the south in a bid to prepare for a possible Gaza operation.
The rocket fire comes at a time of heightened tensions following the abduction and killing of three Israeli teens in the West Bank. Israel has accused Hamas of being behind the deaths, and arrested hundreds of Hamas operatives in the West Bank as part of a broad manhunt in the largest ground operation in the West Bank in nearly a decade.
