IAF strikes Gaza global jihadis after Netivot rocket attack

        The air force launched an air strike on Saturday night on members of a Palestinian jihadi organization that fired a rocket into southern Israel over the weekend and which were planning terror attacks on Israel, the IDF said. Palestinian medical sources reportedly said two men riding a motorcycle in northern Gaza were killed in the strike. The IDF said the strike targeted members of the Mujahadeen Shura Council, a Salafi jihadi organization based in the Gaza Strip which claimed responsibility for a Grad rocket attack on the town of Netivot on Friday night. An army source said the cell was involved in past terror attacks on Israel, and was in the last stages of preparing a further attack. Friday's Palestinian rocket attack triggered air raid sirens in the town, sending residents running for cover, before exploding in the backyard of a family home. The projectile sent shrapnel flying into the home, piercing the walls of the building's walls, including a child's bedroom. One civilian was treated for shock and taken to hospital for further treatment, Negev police said. "What if the child would have been there [in his room]?" the IDF Spokesman's Office asked on its official Twitter account. A few hours after the rocket attack, the air force responded by striking three terror targets in central and northern Gaza overnight Friday. Two of the targets were in central Gaza and the third was in the north of the Strip, the IDF Spokesman's Office said. Palestinian medical sources said there were no injuries in those air strikes. The attack came after an escalation in Palestinian rocket fire on southern towns. The Israel Air Force struck a terror center in the northern part of the Gaza Strip overnight Wednesday, in response to continued rocket fire from the coastal territory. The IAF targeted a training camp belonging to Hamas's Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades terrorist force. No injuries were reported in the strike. Earlier Wednesday, Palestinian terrorists had fired fired rockets, which exploded in the western Negev - two rockets landed in Sderot and two in Netivot. The rockets landed in open areas. No injuries or damage were reported. The IAF also hit terrorist tunnels in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, following several rockets fired earlier that day at the Negev. On Monday, the IDF struck targets in Gaza from the air and land in response to a barrage of more than 30 rockets and mortar shells fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad at farming districts in the South.
