Following a missile attack that targeted Tel Aviv, the Israeli Air Force pummeled Hamas targets in Gaza on Sunday Jan. 2, 2022.

Although Israel believes it was the Islamic Jihad terror group that launched the missile attack, and not Hamas, they hold Hamas accountable for any attacks emanating from Gaza. The terror group's missiles missed Tel Aviv and landed in the Mediterranean just off the coast.

In addition to the airstrikes, IDF tanks also fired on a Hamas outpost. The number of casualties inflicted in the Israeli operations isn't known.

The hostilities are significant as a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel has been largely observed since May.
