(MENAFN) On Sunday, Israeli occupation jets assaulted Hamas positions in Gaza, after Palestinians staged a cross-border raid into southern Israel, the army said.

"Israel Air Force fighter jets targeted a terror target in a military compound belonging to the Hamas terror organisation in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip," it said in an English-language statement.

The strike on the enclave's rulers came after four Palestinians "carrying bottles filled with flammable material" breached Gaza's border fence on Saturday evening near the kibbutz of Kissufim, Israeli daily Haaretz reported, citing the army.

Israel holds Hamas, which rules Gaza, accountable for all attacks launched from the blockaded coastal territory.
