The IDF reported that “the attacks were carried out in response to the attempted attack  on the perimeter fence and the rocket launches from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. The IDF will respond firmly to Islamic Jihad terrorist attacks that endanger Israeli citizens and violate its sovereignty. The IDF sees the rocket attack very severely against Israeli territory, is in high readiness and will continue to take whatever action it takes against attempts to harm Israeli civilians. “

The rocket launches from the Gaza Strip  began yesterday around 5:30 PM. The Iron Dome system intercepted at least 13 of the 30 rockets launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip. The Ashkelon resident was slightly injured when he ran into a sheltered area and was otherwise anxious. Today, his studies will continue in Ashkelon, in Sderot Netivot and in the Gaza Strip communities.

Security sources have stated that Hamas is not interested in escalating and that Israel does not want to make things worse. According to the same source, Hamas has no interest in damaging the benefit package that was only recently transferred to them. Shooting at Islamic Jihad targets in Syria is a clear message from Israel to the organization.
