Israeli jets bomb Gaza targets in retaliation

Gaza City: Israeli jets early on Saturday bombed
several targets across the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip in response
to militant rocket fire, the Army and Palestinian witnesses
said.

A military spokesman said planes targeted a building used
for manufacturing rockets on the outskirts of Gaza City as
well as two smuggling tunnels linking the south of the
impoverished enclave to Egypt.

No casualties were reported in the strikes, witnesses
said.

The attacks came after Palestinian militants fired a
rocket and a mortar shell against southern Israel yesterday,
the spokesman said, also without causing casualties.
