The IDF struck several Hamas posts in the Gaza Strip on Friday night, the IDF spokesperson reported.
Now that @IDF has struck back at #Hamas targets in Gaza after 5 rockets were fired at Israeli civilians an hour ago, most of the international media will probably report: “Israeli military strikes Gaza”. Go figure the logic behind that.
