Fighter jets fired two missiles at the Al-Qassam Brigades grounds south of Gaza City, witnesses said.

An Israeli army statement said that aircraft "targeted a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip, confirming a direct hit."

"The site was targeted in a direct response to the ongoing rocket fire towards southern Israel," it continued.

The Israeli army said the targets were weapons manufacturing and storage sites and that they were hit in retaliation for rocket-fire earlier in the week.
