The Hamas military bases struck by the IDF were located inside civilian areas and in close proximity to schools, hospitals and religious institutions.
The IDF has released footage of overnight strikes carried out against Hamas targets inside the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday morning.
The IDF strikes come after a night of rocket fire from Hamas and other Palestinian terror factions inside the strip.
Throughout Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday morning, at least 32 rockets and mortars were fired into Israel from Gaza, with two of them hitting the border town of Sderot and wounding at least 12 civilians.

In a post on their English-language Twitter account, the IDF shared the 14-second clip along with the caption: “In response to the dozens of rockets launched at Israel from Gaza, the IDF struck weapon manufacturing sites, military compounds and underground terrorist tunnels belonging to terrorist organizations.
“Terrorism anywhere is a threat to civilians everywhere.”
