TEL AVIV, May 20 (RIA Novosti) - Israeli warplanes carried out a bombing raid in Gaza overnight, targeting smuggling tunnels leading from the Palestinian enclave to Egypt, and weapons-making facilities, the military said.
No fatalities have been reported, but Palestinian medics said a local woman was injured in one of the tunnel bombings. Israel says the tunnels are used to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip.
The Haaretz daily cited an Israel Defense Forces spokesman as saying four border tunnels were hit, along with two arms-producing facilities.
The attack came in response to rocket and mortar fire from Gaza militants. Islamist group Hamas, which controls the Palestinian enclave, said one of its security positions had also been targeted.
On Tuesday, Palestinian militants fired a Qassam rocket into southern Israel, wounding a teenager in Sderot and damaging a building.
