Israeli aircraft struck two targets in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday causing some damage but no casualties, local Palestinian residents and Hamas security officials said.



An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that aircraft had hit targets in Gaza but had no further details.

Residents said one air strike targeted tunnels which run under the Egyptian border at the town of Rafah that militants use to smuggle arms into the Gaza Strip. Another hit an already bombed-out security compound in the town of Khan Younis.

The strikes came in an apparent response to the firing of a mortar round by Gaza militants into Israel on Tuesday evening.
