Israel carried out air strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight Monday, sources from both sides said, in what Israel said was a response to a recent rocket fire against Israel.
Israeli planes targetted an arms factory in the centre of the Palestinian territory as well as three tunnels used for smuggling contraband, two in the north and one in the south, the army said in a statement.
The targets were hit, the statement added.
“The targetting of these sites was in response to rockets fired against Israel in recent days,” the military said.
A security source from the Islamist Hamas movement, which controls the territory, and witnesses said there were four strikes — in Beit Lahiya, Nuseirat and two in Khan Yunis.
There were no casualties in the attack, the Hamas source said.
