The Israeli Air Force struck terrorist targets adjacent, but not in, a humanitarian route in Gaza from where Hamas fired two rockets at Tel Aviv on Tuesday, the IDF said.
The airstrikes in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, were carried out outside of the humanitarian route, the Israel Defense Forces emphasized.
Hamas terrorists continue to terrorize Israelis and endanger the Gazans around them.

In the terrorist group’s first attack targeting Tel Aviv since May, one rocket hit in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of central Israel, and the other fell short inside the Strip.
The rockets were reportedly of the M-90 variety, with a range of 56.5 miles.
No air-raid sirens were activated as the projectiles were not on course to hit populated areas.
“The Hamas terrorist organization continues to deliberately embed its military assets used to carry out attacks against Israel next to humanitarian infrastructure and the civilian population inside the Gaza Strip,” the IDF said on Wednesday morning, providing an infographic of the area where the rockets were launched.
