Israeli missile hits Hamas camp in Gaza

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli aircraft attacked a Hamas training base in a former Jewish settlement in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, witnesses said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties. An Israeli army spokeswoman said the military had carried out several air strikes in open areas in southern Gaza but had not targeted any specific person or structure.
Witnesses said the missile hit a training camp used by militants from the governing Islamic movement Hamas in Morag, a former Israeli settlement. It was unclear if anyone was inside the camp.
The attack was launched hours after Israeli tanks and infantry moved into the Gaza Strip in what Israel described as a search operation for a soldier abducted on Sunday by Palestinian gunmen in a cross-border raid.
The ground offensive was the first Israel has mounted in the coastal territory since pulling troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip nearly a year ago after 38 years of occupation.
