Airstrikes wound three in GazaSo what's missing?
At least four airstrikes hit Gaza early Tuesday, leaving two people critically wounded and a third on life support, Palestinian medical and security sources said.
All three injuries occurred in a strike east of Gaza City, where a group of Palestinian militants had gathered, the sources said. The other strikes targeted a training field for the military wing of Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls Gaza, east of the city, and a site outside Khan Younis that militants recently used to fire rockets out of the territory into Israel, the security sources said.
A fourth strike hit near the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, but no details were immediately known.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the strikes, which occurred shortly after 2 a.m. (8 p.m. Monday ET).
Just the fact that a Grad rocket was fired from Gaza to Beersheva a couple of hours earlier.
In fact, CNN has nothing on that story, nor have they updated this with the IDF statement confirming that this was the reason:
Overnight, IAF aircraft targeted four targets in the Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed.
These sites were targeted in response to the firing of a rocket from the Gaza Strip at the city of Be’er Sheva.
In a separate incident, IDF soldiers identified a squad of terrorists planning to fire rockets at Israel. IAF aircraft thwarted the attempt, confirming a hit.
The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will respond with determination to any attempt to use terror against the State of Israel. The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.
The person who was killed in Gaza was a Hamas terrorist.
