GAZA CITY: Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes Monday on the Gaza Strip that caused damage but no injuries, witnesses and Palestinian security sources said.
An Israeli F-16 fired two missiles against a police post near the southern city of Khan Yunis, sparking a fire. An Israeli helicopter also carried out a raid in an unpopulated area of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, but caused no casualties. "Aircraft intervened against a Hamas position in Hamas near Khan Yunis and another at Beit Lahiya," an Israeli military spokesman confirmed.
Palestinian militants fired two rockets Sunday from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip into southern Israel that caused no injuries, the military spokesman said. Militants have fired about 40 rockets and mortar rounds since Israel ended on January 18 its 22-day military offensive against the territory, which caused 1,330 Palestinian deaths. Israel, which launched its assault on December 27 with the stated aim of stemming rocket attacks, has warned of "the severest riposte" to any further rocket fire.
