The IDF said Friday morning it had struck Hamas targets in Gaza responding to earlier rockets launched from the strip run by the terror group.

The military said in a statement it launched airstrikes at an underground facility used by Hamas to develop rockets.
Local media reported no injuries, but said some material damage was caused. Sources cited by Al-Jazeera reported power outages after the attack.
The rockets were launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad late Thursday, but the IDF stressed it held Hamas responsible for all activities emanating out of Gaza.
The rockets were fired in response to the death of a prominent member of the group during a raid by Israeli security forces in Jenin earlier that day. The raid was part of the military's extensive counter terrorism operation in Judea and Samaria, which was launched several months ago in response to a series of deadly terror attacks perpetrated by Palestinians in Israel.
