Israel said Friday its aircraft hit around 100 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip overnight in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave, including toward its economic capital Tel Aviv. "Fighter planes, attack helicopters and (other) IDF aircraft attacked overnight about 100 terror targets of the Hamas terror organisation in the Gaza Strip," Israel's military said in a statement.

A security source in Gaza said dozens of strikes targeted bases belonging to both Hamas and its ally Islamic Jihad throughout Gaza.

Residents reported a number of rockets being fired back at Israel in response. Sirens rang out in southern Israel early Friday and the Israeli military said its missile defence system intercepted two rockets. No Israelis had been reported wounded. scw-az-jod-mjs
