The IDF retaliated by striking eight different Hamas targets in three different compounds late Wednesday night, Haaretz reported. The targets included a military compound in the northern Gaza Strip, a training base, and a weapons production and storage site in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed last week to put an end to attacks on the country from the Gaza Strip.
