(AFP) The Israeli Air Force hit Gaza Strip early Thursday after claims that Palestinians fired a rocket into southern occupied territories, the enemy military said.

“Israel Air Force aircraft targeted three Hamas posts in the northern Gaza Strip,” an occupation army statement said.

A rocket from Gaza hit open ground in occupied territories late Wednesday night, but the Israelis reported no casualties from the attack.

On August 22, the Israelis pounded Gaza with aircraft and tank fire after a rocket fired from the coastal strip hit the southern Sderot without causing any injuries.

Palestinian medical officials said four people were wounded during the dozens of retaliatory raids.
