Two wounded in Israeli air strikes on Gaza: Palestinians

Israeli warplanes launched two raids on the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, Palestinians said, wounding one person hours after militants in the enclave fired a rocket into southern Israel.Officials of the Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza and witnesses said one air raid was on the Khan Yunis area and the second targeted tunnels at Rafah used by smugglers under the territory's border with Egypt.One Palestinian was wounded in his home by shards of broken glass from a blast in the second raid, the sources said.

Israeli warplanes carried out three raids on the Gaza Strip overnight wounding four Palestinians, Hamas security officials and witnesses said on Thursday.Two people were wounded in air strikes in Gaza City while two more were wounded in a strike on the centre of the Gaza Strip.The Israeli military said they hit two "terror targets" in response to rocket fire from Gaza earlier on Wednesday that caused no casualties.Army radio said that another rocket fired at Israel fell short and landed inside the strip.

Israeli warplanes staged three raids in the Gaza Strip overnight wounding four Palestinians, Hamas security officials and witnesses said Thursday.Two people were wounded in strikes on the east and west of Gaza City and two others were hurt in a third attack on the centre of the Gaza Strip, they said.An Israeli military spokeswoman refused to comment.Earlier Wednesday, a rocket fired from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip hit southern Israel but no one was hurt, an Israeli army spokesman said.

Israeli warplanes carried out four air strikes on the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday that caused no injuries, Palestinian security sources and witnesses said.The raids struck targets near Rafah and north of Khan Yunis, near the border with Egypt, as well as targets near Zeitoun, east of Gaza City, and the Deir al-Balah refugee camp in the centre of the territory.An Israeli military spokeswoman neither confirmed nor denied the raids.

Three Palestinians were wounded early on Tuesday as Israel carried out three air strikes on Hamas-run Gaza in response to rocket fire from the enclave, witnesses, medics and the army said.Two of the raids struck smuggling tunnels on the border between Gaza and Egypt and one hit east of Gaza City, witnesses and medics said. The three wounded were caught in the tunnels' strikes, medics said.An army spokesman said the air strikes were carried out in response to two rockets that were fired from the territory late on Monday, without causing injuries or damage.

Three Israeli air strikes on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip overnight wounded eight Palestinians, one of them seriously, medics said on Sunday.Five people were wounded, including the one seriously, in a raid carried out on smuggling tunnels near the southern town of Rafah, they said.The other three people were wounded in strikes against metal workshops in the territory, one of them in the centre and the other in the north, they said.

Israeli warplanes launched four raids on Gaza City late Saturday, witnesses and security services reported, after a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.During the air raid, an Israeli F16 fired a missile at a target in the city's Zeitoun district, but there were no casualties, said the sources.Three of the raids targetted bases of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip. These attacks caused significant damage both to the targets and to neighbouring houses.

Israeli warplanes raided the Gaza Strip overnight killing a Palestinian and wounding another, witnesses and Palestinian medical officials said on Friday.One man was killed and another was wounded in an air attack on Rafah, in the south part of the territory close to the border with Egypt, the sources said. A third was reported missing.No casualties were reported in two other overnight air raids, one in the south and the other in the north of the tiny Palestinian territory.
