Direct hits were confirmed.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, IDF Spokesman: “The retaliation this evening at Gaza terrorist aggression was precision, and intelligence based. It is our obligation to seek out those that wish to attack us, eliminate their capabilities and pursue them wherever they hide. Hamas rocket terrorism is an intolerable reality Israelis should not have to accept”.

Since last month, approximately 131 rockets were launched from Gaza at Israel, out of which 82 rockets hit Southern Israel. These figures include the massive rocket attack that took place between March 12-March 14, when a barrage of 70 rockets hit southern Israel, and 5 additional rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome Missile Defense System.
