Tel Aviv [Israel], April 28 (ANI/TPS): The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said that over the first six day of the Passover holiday its forces attacked about 270 terrorist targets throughout the Gaza Strip, of which more than 20 were terror infrastructures that were aimed at the territory of Israel. In the attacks rocket launch sites were destroyed.

In addition, the IDF attacked a launch site located in the designated humanitarian area in the southern Gaza Strip, using Israel Air Force aircraft. The launch site was loaded and attacked before it could launch rockets at Israeli territory. Before the attack, the IDF took precautions so that it was possible for the citizens to evacuate the area, thereby preventing injury to those not involved in the attack.
