IAF Strikes Terror Targets in Response to Rocket Firing

Overnight, The IAF successfully struck a weapons manufacturing site in the
northern Gaza Strip, a weapons manufacturing site in the central Gaza Strip
and two weapons storage facilities in the Southern Gaza Strip.

The strikes are in response to the rocket firing on Thursday. Nearly 20
rockets and mortars were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip during March,
killing one man in the community of Netiv Ha'Asara and doubling the number
of rockets fired this year. Overall, more than 40 rockets and mortars were
fired at Israel since the beginning of 2010.

The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm the citizens of the State of
Israel and will continue to operate firmly against anyone who uses terror
against it. The IDF holds Hamas as solely responsible for maintaining peace
and quiet in the Gaza Strip.
