Israel’s Army Retaliated After Being Hit By Mortar Attacks

After rockets fired from Gaza hit Israel’s uninhabited area of the Eshkol region, Israel retaliated by launching two air strikes on Hamas targets in the southern Gaza Strip.

Two mortar attacks from the Gaza strip hit open areas in the Eshkol region of southern Israel, near the border fence with the Palestinian enclave. The attacks triggered alert sirens and sparked alarm throughout the region.

According to the Israel Bombs HamasIsrael Defense Forces (IDF), three mortar shells were fired at Israeli forces engaged in operational activities near the Gaza border security fence early Friday morning. In response, Israel’s army retaliated without hesitation by launching air raids on two Hamas infrastructure locations.

Fortunately, no reports of injuries or damage in Israel were received.

The tunnels were discovered by Israel following the arrest of a Hamas operative who disclosed information about the tunnel digging enterprise.

The discovery prompted Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon to issue a warning that stressed Israel’s determination to retaliate when the security of Israelis is at risk.

“Terrorist elements in the Gaza Strip need to know that if they try to disrupt our lives, they will be delivered a severe blow.” – Moshe Ya’alon

Israel’s army has reported at least 11 separate mortar fire incidents towards Israel in cross border fire since Tuesday.

The surge of cross border firing drew concern over the fate of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the largest extremist fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in Gaza.
