Israeli air strike wounds two in Gaza: military

JERUSALEM: Israeli warplanes launched a strike at a Gaza target early Friday morning, the military said, hours after Palestinian militants fired two rockets at southern Israel.

"Israeli army aircraft thwarted an attempt by a terrorist squad to fire rockets at Israel from the northern Gaza Strip," a statement from the army read.

Palestinian sources said two residents of the Zeitun neighbourhood were lightly wounded in the strike.

On Thursday night, Palestinian militants fired two rockets at Israel, neither of which caused damage or injuries. (AFP)
