Palestinian media reported large explosions near Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip as a result of the IDF's strikes.

The military said the strikes came in response to rocket fire Thursday night, as well as balloons with explosives attached being sent over the border and sniper fire on an IDF post on Thursday.

The IDF added that its "Aerial Defense Systems intercepted two of the launches," while the third likely having landed in an open field. No injuries or damage to property have been reported.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that its aircraft carried out attacks on a "wide array of targets belonging to the Hamas terror group, constituting a real blow to Hamas's abilities to build up" its forces.

Among the targets destroyed was an underground facility used to manufacture weapons, the IDF said.
