In its latest operational briefing, Israel’s military has claimed it struck “eight significant terror targets” overnight which it said had been responsible for rockets fired towards the Israeli city of Ashkelon.
In a message posted to its official Telegram channel, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) wrote:
During joint ground and aerial activity in the Gaza Strip, eight significant terror targets were struck in an area from which rockets were fired toward the city of Ashkelon last night. Terror tunnel shafts and infrastructure used by terrorist operatives were also struck.
The Israeli military targeted a home and so far there have been two children who were pulled out from the rubble. There are more people under the rubble and volunteers from the civil defence, paramedics and locals have rushed to the area to help with the rescue efforts.
Someone on the ground told us that the houses were full of displaced families who had evacuated from Gaza City in recent weeks and also another displaced family who was evacuated from Khan Younis at the start of the ground invasion.
