GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Israeli jet fighters launched air strikes on two sites in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning.
The Az-Zaitoun and Ash-Shujaiyeh neighborhoods south of Gaza City were targeted causing massive structural damage.
No injuries were reported.
An IDF spokesman said the raid was in response to rockets fire.
"In response to the firing of rockets at Israel over the last few days, an IAF aircraft targeted a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip overnight."
Israel sources said that a home-made projectile had landed in Sderot on Tuesday night.
No injuries were reported.
The latest air strike on the Gaza Strip comes amid a significant increase in violence over the last week, which in turn represents the first significant recurrence of violence in the area since air strikes killed 19 Palestinians in April after a missile fired from Gaza killed a teenager.
Israel has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since Hamas took control in 2007.
