Israeli warplanes conducted airstrikes in the blockaded Gaza Strip, local sources said early Saturday.
Sources in Gaza said the air force hit the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza and the Deir al-Balah region.
A children's hospital, a residential area and a rehabilitation center for the disabled in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, were damaged in the attacks, according to witnesses Anadolu Agency interviewed.
The Israeli army said on Twitter that it hit Hamas targets, including a rocket manufacturing site, underground infrastructure and a military post.
The strikes came after Israel said Friday two rockets launched from Gaza were intercepted by the "Iron Dome" air defense system.
Gazan authorities have yet to issue a statement about the airstrikes.

Due razzi sono stati lanciati da Gaza questa sera verso il sud di Israele: entrambi sono stati intercettati dal sistema antimissile Iron Dome.
ReplyDeleteLo ha fatto sapere il portavoce militare.
I razzi erano stati indirizzati verso Ashkelon e le zone israeliane attorno alla Striscia costringendo la popolazione a correre nei rifugi.
The Israel Defense Forces have bombed multiple Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip, saying the strikes came in retaliation for a volley of missiles launched from the Palestinian enclave toward Israel on Christmas day.
ReplyDeleteThe targets allegedly included a rocket manufacturing site, a military post and some underground infrastructure, the IDF said in a tweet, warning that “Hamas will bear the consequences for all terror emanating from Gaza.”
Air raid sirens sounded in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon late Friday, forcing residents to flee for bomb shelters. However, the Iron Dome air defense system reportedly intercepted all of the missiles, with videos shared online claiming to show the projectiles being launched from Gaza and then shot down mid-air.
