Few hours after Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired a rocket against the Israeli city Beer Sheba, allegedly in attempting to disturb Israel’s Knesset choices, IDF aircraft hit more Hamas military installations in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning. There were no human loss reports, writes the newspaper Israel Hayom.
In response to the rocket fired from Gaza into Israel tonight, IDF fighter jets and attack helicopters struck a Hamas rocket manufacturing site and military post.

The rocket from Gaza was fired into Israel while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Beer Sheba to encourage voters to vote.
– Fight aircraft and attack helicopters have performed targeted attacks against a rocket production plant and a military outpost belonging to Hamas in Gaza. The attack was performed in response to the rocket seal from Gaza into Israeli territory, says IDF’s spokesman unit in Declaration.
The Terror group Hamas has since 2007 had control over Gaza after they performed a bloody coup. Read more about Hamas here.
The Israeli army added that it keeps Hamas responsible for what is happening in Gaza and that it “will bear the consequences of terrorist acts against Israeli citizens.”
According to IDF, they could look at the direction of the rocket that it would land in open area, therefore rocket alarms in Beer Sheba did not activate.
Netanyahus security personnel made sure to lead him to a safe place as soon as IDF identified that a rocket was on the way.
