GAZA, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Israeli warplanes struck early on Tuesday on southern Gaza Strip in response to an earlier homemade rocket attack on southern Israel, where an Israeli woman was injured, witnesses said.
The witnesses said that Israeli F16 warplanes flew over the enclave, and then a huge explosion was heard, adding that a target in southern Gaza Strip was apparently hit by an air-to-ground missile, no injuries were reported.
They said that two Israeli missiles hit an underground smuggling tunnel in Rafah town. The runnel was destroyed, and no injuries were reported, where the Israeli aerial raid was a response to earlier homemade rocket attack.
Earlier on Monday, an Israeli army spokesman told Israel Radio that an Israeli woman was lightly injured and three others were in a state of panic after a homemade rocket fired from Gaza landed on southern Israel.
The spokesman said that Palestinian militants from Gaza launched a homemade rocket from northern Gaza Strip that landed south of the coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon. No one claimed responsibility for the rocket attack.
On Sunday, another homemade projectile was fired from the Gaza Strip and landed near the southern Israeli town of Sderot, according to the Israeli army spokesman telling Israel Radio. more
