Israel: Israeli army strikes Gaza in response to 15 rockets fired after peace deal with two Gulf Arab countries
The Israeli army struck back Wednesday at Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip after militants fired 15 rockets amid the backdrop of the Jewish state’s signing of normalization accords with two Gulf Arab countries.
“Approximately 10 terror targets were struck, among the sites struck were a weapons and explosives manufacturing factory and a military compound used for training and rocket launching experiments by the Hamas terror organization,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the militants who fired the missiles “want to prevent peace — they won’t.”
“We will hit everyone who tries to harm us, and we will extend a hand of peace to all who reach out to us to make peace,” he said in a statement Wednesday, according to Agence France-Presse.
