The Israeli military said the attacks targeted a rocket manufacturing facility and a military post for Hamas. It also blamed the militant Islamic group for any violence emanating from the territory it controls.
The airstrikes come as retaliation for two rockets fired from Gaza on Saturday which landed in the Mediterranean Sea off central Israel.
Yawn, blowing up empty warehouses again? Certainly not a deterrent!
Either go for the heads of Hamas or why waste our time?
until Tel Aviv really gets hit, we are in for the IDF tic for tat game, which is really NO deterrent……
Until you truly hurt them snd their population understands tat actions have consequences they will continue. For them it’s good business
