Among the targets of the IDF attack were "underground infrastructure, a naval target" in southern Gaza and a "military compound" in Gaza's northern section.

Tweet reads: "A short time ago, IDF aircraft attacked underground infrastructure and a naval target of the Hamas terrorist organization in the southern Gaza Strip, and a military compound of the terrorist organization in the northern Gaza Strip".
Earlier in the day, the IDF revealed that their fighter jets had hit what they claimed was a Hamas arms production site in the Gaza Strip after a rocket was fired from Gaza at Israel.
Hamas, a Palestinian Sunni militant organization in control of the Gaza Strip, has been locked in a protracted conflict with Israel. The latter holds Hamas responsible for any attack coming from the Gaza Strip.
