Just an hour after Palestine-controlled Gaza launched two rockets at Israel, the Israel Defence Force has this evening launched a retaliatory airstrike.
The attack has been carried out by Israel’s military jets and left around 25 Palestinians injured as tensions in the Middle East sit on a knife edge.
The IDF posted a statement moments after the attack, saying: “In response to the projectiles fired at Israel from Gaza earlier today, IAF (Israeli Air Force) aircraft targeted a Hamas training compound & an ammunition warehouse in the Gaza Strip.
“The IDF holds Hamas solely responsible for all hostile acts against Israel emanating from the Gaza Strip.”
Moments after Israel’s attack rocket sirens sounded for the third time in a day across southern Israel as Gaza reportedly launched a retaliatory rocket.
Israel’s attack comes after two rockets launched by Gaza was shot down by Israel’s missile defence system earlier this evening.
Rocket sirens were sounded out in southern Israel seconds after the first rocket was fired, sparking panic as the conflict boiled over.
It exploded over the town of Sderot in Israel after being intercepted.
Moments later another rocket was fired from Gaza towards Israel and the alarms sounded again. It was believed the second one didn’t reach Israel.
Israel Defense Forces said there were no injuries or damage from the rocket.
