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.
