Israeli fighting jets carried out late on Tuesday night two separate airstrikes on two targets in northern and southeast Gaza Strip wounding five people, medics and security sources reported.

The sources said that an Israeli F16 jet destroyed by missiles a house east of the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. The house belongs to an activist member in Hamas movement's armed wing, known as al-Qassam Brigades.

Eyewitnesses said the house was totally destroyed, but no injuries had been reported, adding that the owner of the house, the father of the Hamas militant was notified by the Israeli army to evacuate the house shortly before it was targeted.

Meanwhile, five Palestinian militants were injured earlier on Tuesday night in northern Gaza Strip after an Israeli reconnaissance drone targeted their cars by two missiles, said Palestinian doctors.

Palestinian security sources said the militants were members of Islamic Jihad (Holy War) and Fatah movements, adding that their cars were targeted as they were on their way to launch homemade rockets at Israel.
