IDF targets Hamas positions after rockets fired from Gaza at southern Israel
Published March 19, 2017
JERUSALEM (JTA) – Israel’s military targeted two Hamas positions in the northern Gaza Strip hours after two rockets were fired from Gaza at southern Israel.
One of the rockets fired on Saturday landed near the southern Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon and the second appeared to fall in Gazan territory. The launches triggered the Code Red rocket alarm system.
No injuries or damage was reported in the attack on Israel. No casualties were reported in Israel’s strike on the Hamas targets later on Saturday.
On Sunday morning the Code Red alarm system sounded in several Gaza border communities. The IDF said it was a false alarm.
