Israeli air force jets have bombed several military posts and facilities in the Gaza Strip belonging to Hamas, hours after rockets were fired from the territory at Israel.
Security sources and local media reported that Israeli jets and drones carried out strikes on three military facilities belonging to the Islamist movement in the towns of Rafah and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip and in eastern Gaza City on Saturday. No injuries were reported.
The strikes came hours after unknown militants fired two missiles and four mortar shells from the Gaza Strip into Israel, according to Israeli media, which said that there was no damage or injuries.
Last week, militants fired more than 140 rockets and mortar shells from the Gaza Strip into Israel which responded by carrying out 80 airstrikes on Hamas and Islamic Jihad facilities.
