"The strike comes in response to the deadly rocket firing toward Israel over the past 24 hours, which resulted in the death of a foreign national in Netiv Ha'asara earlier today," Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
The statement was referring to a worker from Thailand who was killed when a rocket fired from Gaza landed inside southern Israel.
Five tunnels used for smuggling and terror activities and a weapons manufacturing site were the targets of the air strike, the IDF said.
"Direct hits were identified," the military statement said. However, no other details were provided on what was hit.

Hey Joe, whatcha know? I just got back from a radio show! .... mean while on the other side of the globe.... U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said Saturday that Israeli settlement building anywhere on occupied land is illegal and must be stopped, while a Palestinian teenager was killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
So Israel targeted Gaza. So what?! Israel simply continues to defend itself from the evil that is the islamic regime of Hamas. May God grant Israel the ability to pound Hamas into 'Humous'...!
Israeli soldiers kidnapped on Saturday evening a Palestinian woman and a 14-year-old child, in the Shu’fat refugee camp, north of occupied East Jerusalem.
Eyewitnesses reported that the soldiers kidnapped Ibtisam Mustafa Abu Dayya, 42, a mother of six children, after she quarreled with the soldiers. Troops violently attacked the woman before cuffing and blindfolding her. Later on, the army kidnapped 14-year-old child during clashes that took place in the camp.
Isaac's statement: "While Israelis teach their children of love and peace – palestinians teach hatred- starting at nursury schools"
What a nonsensical and ignorant statement. It appears that you truly believe that the Israelis are a docile and peaceful populous going about their own business and being innocently victimized without provocation. Are the Israeli bulldozers plowing through Palestinian neighborhoods simply doing so to plant flowers?
You, sir, are part of the problem.
gaza is under israeli OCCUPATION since the 1967 war in which israel took gaza from egypt. the palestinians who live in gaza live in ghettos and under constant oppression on a daily basis with constant security checks when traveling short distances in their own land. maybe if the palestinians weren't so oppressed, there wouldn't be all these problems which affects us all worldwide.
