The Israeli Air Force attacked on Thursday evening nine terror targets throughout the Gaza region. As well, three tunnels that were used to smuggle terrorists and weapons in Gaza were bombed by the IAF overnight on Thursday.

Earlier on Thursday, aircraft and armored forces attacked two terrorist groups, one in northern Gaza and one in southern Gaza, who had been involved in high-trajectory firing of rockets and mortar shells from Gaza into southern Israel.

The IDF Spokesperson reported that in all cases a direct hit on the targets was identified.

Following the IDF’s response, the terror organizations in Gaza announced a ceasefire and said they will not fire anymore rockets towards Israel. The groups claimed that the decision was made as a result of international pressure.

Thanks Uncle Miltie.
...two terrorist groups, one in northern Gaza and one in southern Gaza, who had been involved in high-trajectory firing of rockets and mortar shells from Gaza into southern Israel. The IDF Spokesperson reported that in all cases a direct hit on the targets was identified.
Someone claiming to be associated with the attacking terrorists from the other day said they'd ceased fire due to international pressure. The other nation? Israel. The pressure? Annihilation of the attack teams and destruction of their remaining weapons. :') Nice shootin', IDF.
