OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Saturday it had conducted airstrikes against targets in the Gaza Strip following a rocket attack from the Palestinian enclave, in the second such exchange in as many days.

The strikes hit what the military described as “terror targets” operated by the Gaza Strip’s ruling party Hamas.
They included a “training facility, an anti-aircraft missile launcher post, a concrete production plant and terror tunnel infrastructure.”
Witnesses and security sources said the strikes hit two “training sites” in the southern strip and another target in the central Gaza Strip.
A
Hamas spokesman said that despite the Israeli action, “Gaza still fights and doesn’t break.”
The strikes came hours after rockets in the
Gaza Strip were fired into southern Israel.
An
Israeli army spokesperson said the rocket hit open ground and caused no casualties or damage.
It was the second such exchange in recent days. Late Thursday, a rocket was fired at southern Israel, prompting the army to launch retaliatory air strikes on the strip that caused no casualties.
Israel imposed a blockade of the Gaza Strip’s sea and land borders after Hamas seized control in 2007. The two sides have since fought three wars.
