The Times of Israel reports: Israeli aircraft on Saturday attacked more than 40 targets in the Gaza Strip in the most extensive daytime assault since 2014’s Operation Protective Edge as Palestinian terror groups fired repeated salvos of rockets and mortars into Israel.
The surge in violence intensified after midnight Friday-Saturday as the Israel Defense Forces hit an attack tunnel and Hamas training bases in Gaza in response to the moderate wounding of an IDF officer by a hand-grenade thrown during a border riot on Friday.

The strike was conducted after IDF troops warned residents of the building in advance. The IDF will operate against any point from which Hamas operates or trains terrorists. This strike is one of many examples of the IDF’s intelligence and operational capabilities pic.twitter.com/2nYImjTtDd
