IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/6-israelis-wounded-as-hamas-launches-massive-rocket-barrage-on-ashkelon\/\">said<\/a> that about a third of the rockets fired from inside Gaza ended up landing inside Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF released the following statement about their military operations against the terrorists:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"24\">\n<p><em>Overnight, in response to continuous rocket fire from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory, the IDF struck over 130 terror targets belonging to terror organizations in the Gaza Strip. In the first and second stages of the strikes, IDF fighter jets, attack helicopters and aircraft struck weapons manufacturing sites belonging to the Hamas terror organization. In the third stage, targets belonging to the Hamas terror organization and the Islamic Jihad were struck, including: weapons manufacturing sites and military facilities belonging to the Hamas terror organization and the Islamic Jihad. A Hamas battalion commander was also targeted.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In addition, as part of the strikes over the past day, the IDF struck a military intelligence building belonging to the Hamas terror organization, along with approximately 15 operatives of the organization. Likewise, IDF tanks and aircraft struck additional terror targets, among them: two offensive terror tunnels adjacent to the security fence. The Hamas terror organization deliberately places military targets in the heart of densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip. The IDF takes precautions to avoid harming civilians as much as possible during its operational activities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is video of some of the IDF\u2019s strikes against terrorist targets:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.830985915493\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">IDF publishes airstrikes against militant sites in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gaza?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza<\/a> Strip. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Israel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Israel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Sq7qRok5L1\">pic.twitter.com\/Sq7qRok5L1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Truzman (@Jtruzmah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jtruzmah\/status\/1391959400772890625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.2978723404255\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Israeli airstrike near Khan Yunis a short time ago. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gaza?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Israel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Israel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/N12News?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@N12News<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LvzxV5yrPN\">pic.twitter.com\/LvzxV5yrPN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Truzman (@Jtruzmah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jtruzmah\/status\/1391968248787193859?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.3837209302326\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Hateen military site that was struck multiple times by IDF warplanes a short while ago. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gaza?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Israel?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Israel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U4brhJJxo1\">pic.twitter.com\/U4brhJJxo1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Truzman (@Jtruzmah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jtruzmah\/status\/1391966290965848064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Local governments within 25 miles of the Gaza Strip were ordered to close schools and ban large public gatherings and numerous cities opened public bomb shelters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Hamas terror organization is responsible for all events transpiring in the Gaza Strip and emanating from it, and will bear the consequences for terror activity against Israeli civilians,\u201d the IDF added. \u201cAt this time, approximately 200 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory, dozens of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome Aerial Defense System.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe terrorist organizations in Gaza crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles at the entrances to Jerusalem.
