Israeli aircraft attacked at least four targets in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip early on Saturday, wounding two people in retaliation for a rocket strike on Israel, officials said.

Palestinian medics and witnesses said all the missiles appeared to land in open fields. Two people, including a child, were lightly wounded, medics said. Tunnels An Israeli military spokesperson said warplanes had attacked two tunnels militants were digging in the direction of Israel, apparently to infiltrate the country and carry out attacks. Israel routinely retaliates after rocket attacks from Gaza, and the latest air strikes came after a rocket hit the southern town of Netivot on Thursday without causing casualties. “We will not tolerate any attempt to disrupt the calm in Israel’s southern communities,” the spokesperson said.
