An Israeli warplane launched airstrikes on seven military sites in Gaza late Tuesday in response to five rockets attacks from Gaza, the Israeli army said.
"Gaza rocket attacks intentionally target Israeli cities, towns and communities; putting civilians at risk and in harm's way," Israeli army spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said in a statement.
He said an Israel Air Forces (IAF) aircraft targeted five concealed rocket launchers in northern Gaza, one terror activity site in central Gaza, and a weapon manufacturing facility in southern Gaza.
Earlier in the day, the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted two out of five rockets fired from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel. Another one hit an open area in the Sha'ar HaNegev regional council and the remaining two fell in Gaza.
There were no injuries or damage in the attack.
"We are determined to act against those that strive to target Israel, operating under the umbrella of Hamas and on behalf of this terrorist entity," the spokesman said.
"We will strike its operatives, rocket infrastructure and capabilities in order to deplete their capabilities and protect Israeli lives."
