GAZA CITY: Israeli warplanes bombed two separate targets in the Gaza Strip yesterday after Palestinian militants fired projectiles across the border, the army said.

The strikes in northern Gaza came just hours after witnesses reported an Israeli army incursion across the Strip’s eastern borders, to which Islamist militants claimed to have responded with mortar fire.

The military said “aircraft targeted two concealed rocket launchers in the northern Gaza Strip” in response to two projectiles that had hit Israel since Wednesday.

A spokeswoman said one of the projectiles was a rocket and the other a mortar round.

No casualties were reported in any of the attacks from either side.
