Following multiple rockets and mortar shells being fired into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, the IDF confirmed that IAF jets successfully struck three terror-related targets in Gaza in response.
The IDF also reported that the four mortar shells that landed in the Ashkelon Regional Council area earlier on Friday contained white phosphorous.
The Salah al-Din Brigade claimed responsibility for the four mortar shells, which they said came in response to the IDF assassination of two members of the Army of Islam, an al-Qaida affiliated group, earlier this week.
In addition to the four mortar shells containing white phosphorous fired into Israel on Friday, three additional mortar shells were fired towards the western Negev.
Earlier on Friday a Grad rocket was shot from Gaza towards Israel.
In addition, two Kassam rockets landed in the Merhavim Regional Council of the western Negev. No injuries and damage were reported.
Another rocket was shot on Friday morning. It landed in Palestinian territory.
Kassam rockets have been shot from Gaza towards the western Negev almost daily since 2001. The IDF Spokesperson's unit reported that over 180 rockets have landed in Israel since the beginning of the year.
