The Israeli military launched twin air strikes in the Gaza Strip against targets linked to the Palestinian movement Hamas which had claimed responsibility for two deadly attacks on Israelis, reported Geo TV.
In the first raid, three apache helicopter gunships fired five rockets at a 12-storey building in central Gaza city housing the offices of several Palestinian and overseas media organisations. Three Palestinians were injured in that attack, media sources said.
The apparent target was the third-floor office of the Al Saada weekly, which has close links to Hamas. The building was badly damaged and several neighbouring houses were also damaged.
