Shortly after midnight (UTC +3) the [[w:Israeli Air Force|Israeli Air Force (IAF)]] attacked several [[w:Hamas|Hamas]] targets in [[w:Gaza|Gaza]]. The attack was in reaction to the [[Palestinian rocket attack kills Israeli woman|rocket and mortar attack on Israel today]]. No injuries or fatalities were reported.

One of the buildings that were attacked is an ammunition warehouse in Khan-Yunus and another one is an office of the Hamas in the [[w:Jabalia|Jabalia]] refugee camp, the [[w:Israeli Defense Forces|Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)]] reported.

Six [[w:missile|missiles]] were fired from [[w:gunship|helicopter gunships]], according to Palestinian sources. The missiles at Jebalia were fired on a Hamas religion studies center and the others were fired on a rocket launch site near the Khan-Yunus cemetery. A third firing was at an empty building in the [[w:Deir el-Balah|Deir el-Balah]] area.

Electric power was lost in wide parts of [[w:Gaza|Gaza]].

The IDF has decided to divide the Gaza Strip into three parts in order to prevent the passage of weapons and militants between different parts of the strip. This is the first time in months that the IDF has taken such a step, which is a burden on the Palestinian civil population.
