IDF attacks Hamas tunnel, naval force targets

The IDF attacked a Hamas terror tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip with fighter jets early Wednesday. Two additional targets of the Gaza-ruling terror group’s naval force were hit.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that strike came in response to the infiltration of Palestinians from the strip into Israel Tuesday, as well as in light of “continued attempts to insert drones and kites into Israel for the purposes of terrorism and arson.”

As a result of the strike, Palestinian sources reported, a boat set to participate in a protest flotilla calling to break the naval blockade on Gaza caught fire.
