1st LD writethru: Israeli war jets strike on southern Gaza in response to rockets firing

Israeli war jets struck early on Sunday with missiles a training facility that belongs to the armed wing of Hamas movement in southern Gaza Strip, according to security officials.

The security officials said no injuries reported in the training facility after it was struck with two heavy air-to-ground missiles, but the collapse of a nearby house caused by the powerful airstrikes on Hamas military post killed one and injured five.

The Israeli airstrike was an Israeli response to earlier rockets attack into Israel, according to an emailed Israeli army spokesman email.

Ashraf al-Qedra, spokesman of Gaza health ministry told reporters that a three-month pregnant woman and her four-year-old daughter were killed in the collapse of the building, and four of her other family members were inured.

The number of Palestinians killed rose to 11 and more than 100 were injured since Friday when nine were killed in the fierce clashes between sraeli soldiers and Palestinians on the borders of the Gaza Strip with Israel.

The Israeli army statement warned that the army won't allow more rockets to be fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel, adding that "Hamas is the address and it is fully responsible for it."

No one claimed responsibility for the three rockets fired overnight from the Gaza Strip into Israel, where two of the rockets landed into Israeli open areas causing no injuries or damages. Endi
