GAZA CITY — Israeli jets bombed three sites in Gaza overnight after rockets were fired from the coastal strip, Palestinian officials and the Israeli military said on Thursday.
The Israeli air strikes were the second in as many days, as rocket fire from Gaza into Israel increased suddenly after months of relative quiet.
In a statement, the Israeli military said its aircraft targeted three tunnels, two used for smuggling in southern Gaza and one "used for terrorist activity" in the north of the Palestinian territory.
"The tunnels were targeted in response to the firing of rockets at Israel's southern communities during the previous day," the military said.
Palestinian medical sources said five people were moderately wounded by the raids and two people had been reported missing. more
