25 June 2010

Ma'an - Israeli aircraft launched strikes on four targets in the Gaza Strip, two in the north and another two in the south, all hitting before sunrise.

No injuries were reported, but severe structural damages to buildings in Jabaliya and Beit Hanoun, while two smuggling tunnels were destroyed near Rafah.

Security officials in Gaza said Israeli F16 jet fighters hit twice in the north, outside residential areas in an industrial zone. An Israeli military official said three targets were hit, two "terror tunnels" in the south, and a single weapons cache in the north. Israeli media sources quoted military officials saying the strikes were in retaliation for recent projectile fire from the Gaza Strip.
