JERUSALEM: Israel carried out air strikes on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in response to rockets fired from the Palestinian coastal enclave, the army said.
“In response to the rockets launched earlier tonight (Wednesday), the IDF (Israel Defense Force) is currently striking in the Gaza Strip,” the army said, which a Palestinian security source said had hit a Hamas military site in northern Gaza but caused no injuries.
