Israel Launches Airstrikes in Gaza
The Israeli military says it has carried out airstrikes on two targets
in the Gaza Strip in response to a pair of rocket attacks.
The army said Thursday's airstrikes targeted a weapons manufacturing
facility and a weapons storage facility. It says "direct hits were
confirmed." Palestinian officials say there were no injuries.
The aerial attacks came hours after Palestinian militants fired two rockets into southern Israel. No injuries were reported.
Earlier this week, a sniper in Gaza shot and killed an Israeli civilian
who was working along the border, prompting Israel to respond with
airstrikes and artillery fire. It was the heaviest fighting between the
sides in more than a year.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman, says Israel "will not tolerate daily aggression" from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
