Hamas says it targeted air force bases in barrages toward south, central Israel

[IsraelTimes] IDF says no hits reported in airfields; Israeli border towns see 3-hour overnight lull between attacks, Israeli jets hit dozens of targets in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
as fighting enters 10th day.
Gaza terror groups fired several rocket barrages at southern and central Israel late Tuesday and early Wednesday, with Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, claiming it targeted Israeli Air Force bases during the strikes.
Red alert sirens went off throughout Gaza border towns, in the southern coastal cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon and in central towns as far north as Rehovot and Palmachim and in a number of air bases in between.
"The bases that the Al Qassam Brigades targeted are Hatzor, Hatzerim, Nevatim, Tel Nof, Palmachim, and Ramon," Hamas said in a statement.
Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman on Wednesday morning said the military had no indications that a rocket struck any of its air bases. In one case, a projectile landed in an open field well outside the Tel Nof Air Base near Rehovot, he said.
Hamas’s publicly announced attack on Israeli airbases potentially indicated an effort by the group to deflect criticism from the US and other world leaders for wantonly targeting Israeli civilian populations in clear violation of international law. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
Hamas also fired toward towns overnight Tuesday-Wednesday where no IAF bases are located. According to Zilberman, rockets have been fired toward IAF bases throughout the operation.
There were no reports of damage or injuries from the rocket fire that began at around 8 p.m. and continued past 2 a.m., with many of the projectiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Gaza border towns had a three-hour respite from rocket fire from 2:30 to 5:30 a.m., as has been the norm for that overnight period during the past several days.
But on the other side of the Gaza border, IDF jets operated the entire night, striking dozens of targets throughout the Strip, according to the Hamas-affiliated Paleostinian Media Center, which published pictures and footage of the bombing.
The news outlet said several Paleostinians were killed and a larger number were maimed, though the Gaza health ministry did not immediately provide an update with exact figures.
According to Zilberman, the IDF believes it killed at least 10 members of the Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror groups in its overnight strikes in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza.
In one round of strikes on Tuesday night, more than 50 Israeli Air Force jets using over 120 bombs struck an underground tunnel network in southern Gaza, destroying some 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) of it over the course of 25 minutes, according to the IDF front man.
This was the fifth round of Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s that the IDF has carried out against Hamas’s sprawling subterranean complex, which Israel refers to as "the metro."
The IDF late Tuesday said its strikes targeted six rocket launching sites as well as a Hamas terror cell firing mortars at Israel from inside a school in Gaza.
The incident "proves again how the Hamas terror group purposefully places its military assets in the heart of the civilian population," the army said.
Hamas has launched nearly 3,700 rockets at Israel since May 10, often forcing people living by Gaza into bomb shelters around the clock.
Israel’s near-relentless bombing campaign in response has sent fireballs, debris and black smoke into the sky, leaving two million Paleostinians in Gaza desperate for reprieve.
The humanitarian crisis has deepened in the impoverished strip, with the UN saying 72,000 Paleostinians have been displaced.
Paleostinians across the West Bank and in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem mobilized Tuesday for protests and a general strike that shuttered non-essential businesses, in support of those under bombardment in Gaza.
As the sides entered their 10th day of fighting on Wednesday, Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry updated the corpse count in the Strip to 217, including more than 63 children. It was not immediately clear if this ministry tally included all of those killed or if there were Hamas operatives not included in the count.
According to the IDF, more than 120 of those killed were members of Hamas and over 25 were members of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad as of Monday night.
The Hamas-run ministry said that over 1,400 Gazooks had been injured since the start of what the IDF has billed Operation Guardian of the Walls.
Twelve people in Israel, including a 5-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, have been killed in rocket fire, and hundreds have been injured over the past ten days.
The most recent casualties came on Tuesday afternoon when two Thai workers were killed in a packing house that took a direct hit from Hamas mortar fire. The two men in their 30s were not immediately identified. Eight others were inured, including one seriously, in the attack on a community close to the border.
IDF says it bombed 120 Gaza terror targets in 24 hours
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says it has bombed 120 targets in the Gazoo Strip over the past 24 hours, including 10 rocket launchers.
According to IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman, many of the strikes were conducted in the affluent Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, home to many Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leaders.
Zilberman says the IDF has an "intensive night ahead of us," as it prepares to strike "new locations" and to continue targeting Hamas’s sprawling underground tunnel network, which Israel refers to as "the metro." IDF jets have bombed various parts of this subterranean passage complex every night for the past four nights, destroying more than 120 kilometers (75 miles) of tunnels.
