Earlier today, IDF fighter jets targeted a five-floor building located in the Rimal neighborhood of the northern Gaza Strip. The building was used by the Hamas terror organization's interior security forces for military purposes.
The Hamas' interior security unit is responsible for all security operations carried out inside the Gaza Strip, and is considered to be an executive branch of Hamas' political leadership. The building serves as the office of active unit members. A significant part of the unit's members are also military operatives of the Hamas terror organization.
The strike was carried out in addition to the IDF's previous wide scale attack and in response to the rockets that the Hamas fired at Israeli territory, including the launching of a rocket towards the city of Be'er Sheva, located over 40 kilometers from the Gaza Strip.
The strike is an example of the IDF's intelligence and operational capabilities, which will intensify as necessary.
The IDF is determined to fulfill its mission of protecting Israeli civilians and is prepared for a range of complicated scenarios and the stages will intensify as necessary.
