Israel has carried out an airstrike on a Hamas site in Gaza, its first against the Palestinian territory since this summers war, which ended when a truce was signed in August. The Israeli military said the airstrike, in the early hours of Saturday morning, was on what it called a Hamas terror infrastructure site in the southern Gaza Strip. Israeli military officials said they had acted in response to a rocket having been fired from Gaza into southern Israel on Friday without causing any injuries. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, said Israels military will not permit any attempt to undermine the security and jeopardize the well-being of the civilians of Israel. The Hamas terrorist organisation is responsible and accountable for todays attack against Israel. Early on Saturday Gaza residents reported hearing two explosions in the Khan Yunis region, an area said to contain training sites for Palestinian militants. No injuries were immediately reported.
