Israel air strikes on Gaza in response to rocket fire

Tel Aviv: The Israeli military, on Wednesday, struck two sites in Gaza in response to the rocket fire on the southern region hours earlier, The Times of Israel reported citing the army.

The air strike in Gaza came as a massive military operation in the West Bank drew to a close, with hundreds of Israeli



troops withdrawing from Jenin after two days of intense fighting in the Palestinian refugee camp.

Warplanes struck “an underground weapons workshop used by the chemical unit of the Hamas terror group and a site for processing rocket components,” the Israel Defence Forces said in a statement just before 5:30 am.
