“Among them, the intelligence headquarters belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization and a military compound used by the Hamas terrorist organization’s aerial forces were struck,” the Israeli Air Force wrote on X.
It also added that it struck two banks belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization – the Islamic National Bank and the First Bank – from where terror activities were allegedly financed.
“The IAF (also) struck an aerial weapons production site used by the aerial forces belonging to the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the city of Gaza, and a building including offices and storage units where the terrorist organization stores weapons and military equipment,” the air force added.
Israel is carrying out retaliatory airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, a day after Palestine's Hamas militants attacked its civilians in an unprecedented surprise attack.
The militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others during a major Jewish holiday on Saturday.
While over 200 people were killed in the attack by Hamas militants on Israeli towns, the wave of air strikes on Gaza by Tel Aviv has killed more than 230 people.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to reduce the group's Gaza hideouts to “rubble”.
"I'm telling the people of Gaza: get out of there now, because we're about to act everywhere with all our force," a stunned Netanyahu had said in an address to the nation. “We'll strike them to the bitter end and avenge with force this black day they brought on Israel and its people.”
Israel has also reportedly stopped supplying electricity, fuel and goods to Gaza.
