-

GAZA: Israel carried out air strikes in central Gaza before dawn yesterday after a rocket attack launched from the Palestinia­n territory landed in Israel, Hamas officials and Israeli military sources said.

Two training camps used by Hamas, the Islamist group that rules the blockaded enclave, were hit, and no casualties were reported.

Israeli war planes struck a security post and part of an undergroun­d site used to produce rocket engines, the Israeli military said.

Earlier, a rocket fired from Gaza struck southern Israel, causing slight damage to a house but no injuries, police said. No faction claimed responsibi­lity for what is the second such attack in days.
