IDF - ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCE
The Israel Defense Forces struck Hamas facilities in the Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday, after Palestinian terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at southern Israel.
Fighter jets struck a Hamas arms manufacturing facility in central Gaza, as well as a military compound in the northern Strip used to store naval weapons, according to the military.
“The compound is built near a mosque, a clinic, a school, a hotel and a police station. This is further proof that the Hamas terrorist organization is placing its military assets in the heart of the civilian population,” the IDF said in a statement.
“This attack is a significant blow to Hamas’s ability to fortify and arm itself. The terrorist organization bears responsibility for Gaza and will pay the price for security violations against the State of Israel,” added the military.

מטוסי קרב תקפו לפני זמן קצר אתר לייצור אמצעי לחימה של ארגון הטרור חמאס, הממוקם במרכז רצועת עזה.
במקביל, נתקף מתחם צבאי של הארגון בצפון הרצועה, המשמש בין היתר לאחסון אמצעי לחימה ימיים של חמאס>> pic.twitter.com/Ytp19mrabJ

המתחם ממוקם בסמוך למסגד, מרפאה, בית ספר, בית מלון ותחנת משטרה.
זוהי הוכחה נוספת לכך שארגון הטרור חמאס ממקם את נכסיו הצבאיים בלב אוכלוסייה אזרחית.

The strikes came after Palestinian terrorists fired six rockets at southern Israel, including Ashkelon.
Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system intercepted five of the rockets, with the remaining one landing in an open area, according to the military.
The exchange came after 11 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in a gun battle that erupted when Israeli forces came under fire on Wednesday during an arrest operation in Nablus.
Israel Defense Forces fighters were attacked by gunmen after surrounding a building in the kasbah/Old City in the center of the Palestinian Authority-run city in Samaria in which three terrorists, the targets of the operation, had holed up.
Soldiers surrounded a home where the wanted terrorists, members of the Lions’ Den terrorist group, were located, demanding they turn themselves in. The suspects instead began shooting from the structure, prompting the soldiers to return fire.

Nablus today
We will not turn our necks to the Gallows of oppression.
We will fight until the occupation ends, from the apartheid soldier to the fanatic settler. Whatever the cost may be! pic.twitter.com/1orS1T4rvn

All three wanted men were reported killed during the arrest raid.
The three wanted men were identified as Husam Aslim, 24, one of the heads of the Lions’ Den group, who carried out shooting and IED attacks and dispatched the murderers of IDF St.-Sgt. Ido Baruch, who were arrested last week by the Israeli security forces; Muhammad a-Fatah, 24, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad member who carried out shooting attacks targeting IDF soldiers in Judea and Samaria; and Walid Dahil, 24, a member of the Lions’ Den group who fired at soldiers in Judea and Samaria.

In response, the Palestinian Authority said it would turn to the United Nations, with PLO Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh tweeting, “The Palestinian leadership decides to go to the #UN Security Council to request international protection for our Palestinian people in light of the continuing crimes of the occupation.”
Describing the arrest raid as a “planned and premeditated criminal act,” he added that “the Palestinian leadership is seriously considering taking steps at all levels in response to this barbaric act.”
Riyad Mansour, the PLO envoy to the United Nations, also demanded that the world body take action following the IDF operation. He said the United Nations was losing credibility by standing by as Palestinians were killed and warned that the disputed territories were a powder keg waiting to go off, which he blamed on Israeli policies.
Israel remains engaged in a counter-terrorism offensive amid a wave of Palestinian attacks.
Earlier this month, a terrorist attack in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood claimed the lives of Yaakov Israel Paley, 6, his brother, Asher Menachem Paley, 8, and 20-year-old Alter Shlomo Lederman.
Three days later, Israeli soldier St.-Sgt. Asil Sawaed, 22, died from wounds sustained in a terrorist attack at a checkpoint to Shuafat in northeastern Jerusalem.
In late January, seven people were killed and several others were wounded in a terrorist shooting attack at a synagogue in Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood.
