Israeli war jets strike on Hamas facilities in Gaza in response to rocket firing

Israeli war jets struck early on Monday an Islamic Hamas movement military facility in southern Gaza Strip, with no injuries reported, according to security and medical officials.

The Israeli war jets first hovered over the Gaza Strip and then fired at least two missiles on a military training base that belongs to Hamas militants.

An Israeli army spokesman said in a press statement that Israeli air forces attacked with air-to-ground missiles a training facility that belongs to Hamas in response to earlier rockets firing.

Overnight, unknown militants fired one rocket from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, according to the spokesman, who added that the rocket landed at an empty area causing no damages or injuries.

No one claimed responsibility for the rocket attack.

Since the Israeli 50-day offensive on the Gaza Strip ended on Aug. 26 last year, several militant groups in the coastal enclave have been firing frequent rockets into southern Israel.

The Israeli army usually held Hamas responsible for the rockets attacks, while Israeli war jets carried out airstrikes on its military bases allover the Gaza Strip.
