Israel launches three airstrikes on Gaza Strip
font size    

Israel launched Tuesday night three airstrikes on targets in northern and central Gaza Strip, wounding one militant, security sources and witnesses said.

The sources said that two Apache attack helicopters fired two air-to-ground rockets at an empty field in central Gaza Strip, the site of a former Jewish settlement evacuated last September.

Shortly before the airstrike, two Israeli drones fired two rockets at the same time at a training camp, which belongs to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of the Fatah movement, in northern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian witnesses said that a group of militants in the camp managed to escape from the area without injury.

Earlier, an Israeli pilotless drone attacked a group of militants who were launching a homemade rocket from Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza Strip near the border with Israel.

The militants are members of an armed group called "Al-Fateh al- Mubein."

The group said in a leaflet that its militants launched a homemade rocket at Israel, and the Israeli attack lightly wounded one militant.

In the West Bank city of Nablus, Palestinian residents of the village of Aseera al-Shamaleya said that the Israeli army stormed the village and detained three Palestinians.

The residents said that Israeli soldiers discovered an explosive device in one of houses and blew it up, adding that the house was destroyed.

In the West Bank city of Ramallah, two Jewish settlers were lightly injured after Palestinian youth threw stones at their car, Israel Radio reported.
