MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th February, 2020) Israel has carried out airstrikes targeting Hamas in the Gaza Strip, in response to Saturday rocket launches, Israel's Defense Forces have announced.
IDF said, as cited by The Times of Israel on Sunday, that the airstrikes undermined the military capabilities of Hamas, adding that the Israeli military was "on high alert for various scenarios."

Last month, US President Donald Trump presented his Middle East peace plan that envisioned Israel annexing the settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, and maintaining Jerusalem as its undivided capital. The plan was rejected by Palestinian leaders.
Hamas, a Palestinian Sunni militant organization in control of the Gaza Strip, has been locked in a protracted on-and-off conflict with Israel.
