“In response to the shots fired earlier today at IDF forces carrying out routine activities near the border fence with the southern Gaza Strip, an IDF tank targeted a post belonging to the terror organization Hamas,” the IDF said in statement.

Nobody was hurt and no damage caused from the shooting.

A similar incident took place about a month ago during which an IDF force near the Gaza border fence was shot at during routine operations. Nobody was wounded, but a vehicle was hit.

In response to that incident, the IDF carried out airstrikes and tank strikes against two Hamas posts.
