Israel launches further air strike near north Gaza
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli air force launched a
further air strike on Saturday near the northern Gaza Strip on
an open field used by militants to fire rockets into Israel,
the army said.
The army said the strike had targeted a field from which
Palestinian militants had been launching rockets.
Palestinian security sources said the air strike took place
near Beit Hanoun with no injuries reported.
Earlier on Saturday Israel launched air strikes in Gaza it
said targeted weapons foundries after Palestinian militants
mounted several rocket attacks on the Jewish state from the
territory, which wounded five Israelis.
Sonic booms over Gaza hours later caused alarm on the
ground among jittery residents who reported explosions.
