The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck several Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip after two rockets from Gaza struck Tel Aviv on the morning of March 25 Israeli time.

The Times of Israel reports that the IDF announced its actions in the early evening on March 25; their targets included the “secret headquarters of the Hamas terror group, which is used by the internal security, central intelligence and military intelligence branches of the group.”

“This is a central asset of the Hamas terror group,” the IDF said in a statement.

Other areas the IDF targeted in Gaza included Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah, per the Times of Israel.

Twelve rockets have since been launched from Gaza toward southern Israel communities.

One of the Gaza rockets that hit Tel Aviv struck a home in Mishmeret and injured seven people, including an 18-month-old baby and a 3-year-old. The home belonged to Robert and Susan Wolf, who are originally from London.

“If we hadn’t got to the bomb shelter in time I would be burying all my family,” Robert Wolf told the UK Telegraph.
