Israeli fighter jets struck targets in Gaza in the early hours of Wednesday after Palestinian militants in the blockaded coastal enclave launched five rockets towards Israel.
The Israeli military said its air strikes had targeted underground weapons-making infrastructure linked to Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza. There were no immediate reports of casualties in either Israel or Gaza.
The cross-border exchange came as Israeli forces began withdrawing from the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Hundreds of Israeli troops stormed the camp on Monday in the biggest raid in the territory since a Palestinian uprising known as the second intifada ended in 2005.
