The IDF struck a terrorist cell in northern Gaza after it fired rockets toward Israel on Wednesday, triggering sirens in Sderot and its surrounding areas, the military announced Thursday morning.
The Israel Air Force (IAF) also carried out extensive airstrikes throughout Gaza, hitting approximately 150 terror targets, the military added.
The IDF said the strikes killed terrorists, underground routes, military structures, weapons, sniper posts, and additional terror infrastructure sites.
This comes after the IDF sent out an evacuation warning on Wednesday evening, calling residents in the Gaza Strip to leave various areas in the Strip.
