The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have hit 20 military targets in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in response to a missile attack on Israeli territory, said spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces Jonathan Conricus at a briefing for foreign journalists, TASS reports.

"We’ve hit 20 Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip in response to a missile attack on Israel," he said. "Among these targets are a Hamas tunnel in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, production platforms for missiles and a mine of another tunnel on the coast." Conricus noted that two missiles fired from the Gaza Strip on Israel on Wednesday night were "home-produced medium-range missiles that only the Hamas movement and the Islamic Jihad Movement have." "We believe the Hamas movement to be responsible for the missile attack, and the Israeli army is ready for any scenario," he added.
