The Israeli military has launched air strikes against targets in the Gaza Strip. The army announced it on Twitter. According to Israeli media, warplanes attacked targets in central Gaza.
Israel has previously intercepted a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip bound for the town of Sderot in southern Israel on the border with the Gaza Strip. The group of fighters called Lions’ Den has now claimed responsibility for that attack. The group is mainly made up of young people from various armed factions in the city of Nablus.

The first Israeli attacks targeted a training center of the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, in the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
A reporter from the AFP news agency saw that two new rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip after those Israeli attacks. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a secular Palestinian armed group, said it had “carried out a barrage of rockets in response to Zionist aggression in the Gaza Strip”.
A subsequent second round of Israeli air strikes targeted another al-Qassam Brigade training facility southwest of Gaza City, according to local security sources.
