The Hamas facility suffered a direct hit from the Israeli airstrike
Israeli war jets attacked Hamas facility in center
of Strip last Friday night, wounding two people, medics and security officials
said.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said two people
were injured in the strike.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP that one
person was seriously hurt and the other moderately in the strike on a training
facility of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, near El Bureij refugee camp in the
centre of the strip.
Ashraf al-Qedra, Gaza health ministry spokesman,
told reporters that two security men were lightly injured by the shrapnel of an
Israeli missile which was fired at an area east of Nuseirat refugee camp in
central part of the coastal enclave.
Gaza
militants fired two rockets from central Gaza Strip into southern Israel but air strike came shortly after. No
damages or injuries were reported, according to Israel Public Radio.
The rocket, which targeted civilians in southern Israel,
landed in an open area, causing no injuries was confirmed by Israeli military.
The statement said the air attack was carried out
against a "Hamas terror infrastructure" in Gaza.
“Since the
beginning of August multiple rockets have been fired towards southern Israel,
most falling short in the Gaza Strip. Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live
normal lives but instead terrorists choose to use the Gaza Strip as a launch
pad for rocket attacks. Hamas, must fulfill its responsibilities or face the
consequences,” IDF spokesman Peter Lerner said in a statement.
In addition a militant group, loyal to the Islamic
State (IS) militant group, claimed responsibility for launching two rockets
from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.
The group said in a leaflet emailed to reporters
that its militants fired two rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel "in
response to the Jewish daily storming of al-Aqsa Mosque and cursing Prophet
Mohamed."
The leaflet was signed by the black and white flag
of IS and the group, which claimed responsibility for firing the two rockets,
called itself "the grandchildren of Mohamed's Followers .
