Yesterday, islamic terrorists in Gaza fired a Kassam rocket into southern Israel near the Ashkelon area and injured an Israeli woman, so last night, Israel sent IAF fighter jets into Gaza blasting a terrorist center and a tunnel network.
From the report at The Jerusalem Post:
The IDF spokesperson confirmed Tuesday that the air force attacked several targets in Gaza overnight, including a smuggling tunnel in the southern Strip and a terrorist center in the north.
No information was been given on possible casualties, but the statement confirmed that the planes returned to their bases safely and that the hits were on target.
The attack was in response to a Kassam rocket fired at southern Israel from Gaza on Monday night.
A woman in her fifties was moderately injured by shrapnel from the rocket, which landed between in open territory in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council. An air raid siren went off before the rocket landed.
It's good to see that the Israelis responded to this as other Kassam rockets were fired into Israel over the weekend, and we certainly have more than enough track record proving that if you don't respond to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets being fired into Israel....well, it becomes a daily routine.
I guess we'll see how badly the terrorists got hit by the length of time between the air strikes and the next rocket firing.

A woman in her fifties was moderately injured by shrapnel from the rocket, which landed between in open territory in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council. An air raid siren went off before the rocket landed.
The woman was rushed by Magen David Adom paramedics to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
She is a resident of a Beduin community in the western Negev.
A police response team, headed by Lt.-Cmdr. Yoram Sofer, head of the Lachish police sub-district, arrived on the scene of the attack and are expected to run an analysis of the rocket.
Over the weekend, two Kassam rockets fired from Gaza landed near Israeli communities in the western Negev, the IDF spokesperson's office said. No injuries or damage was reported
