Israeli jets raid Gaza targets

GAZA - Israeli airplanes struck several targets in the Gaza Strip, apparently in response to the injury of two soldiers by Palestinian militants.

Witnesses said that the air strikes destroyed two smuggling tunnels beneath Gaza’s southern border with Egypt late Tuesday. Medical sources said there were no casualties in these raids, Xinhua reported .

The warplanes also bombed an abandoned house in the east of Khan Younis city where clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants took place. A militant was killed Monday and two Israeli soldiers were injured early Tuesday in the same area.
