The jets hit their target directly, causing no collateral damage, the army said.

According to the IDF Spokesperson, the operation was a response to the continued launching of rockets from Gaza into Israel.

“The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to act with determination and force against any element that carries out terrorist attacks against Israel,” read an IDF statement concerning the operation. The statement placed the blame for the rocket attacks on the Hamas government in Gaza.

In the latest rocket attack, a Kassam hit an open area in the Hof Ashkelon region on Tuesday night.

No one was hurt in the attack and no damage was reported.
