Posted on March 21, 2011 by Israel Defense Forces

A short while ago, in a joint IDF-ISA activity, an Israeli Air Force aircraft targeted a terror tunnel and several Hamas-affiliated militants in the northern Gaza Strip. A direct hit was confirmed.

The terror tunnel was intended for the infiltration of terrorists into Israeli territory and for the execution of terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.

The targeting of the terror tunnel and militants was in response to recent terrorist activity by Hamas, including the barrage of mortar shells, Qassam and Grad rockets fired from Gaza at the Israeli home front over the past week.
