Israeli air force strikes Hamas military sites after 'militants fired missile into southern Israel'
- Attack came as Islamic Jihad threatened retaliation over deaths of two leaders
- Israeli rockets targeted weapons manufacturing site belong to Hamas terrorists
- Fire balls and smoke clouds seen over skylines during early hours this morning
Israeli aircraft struck several military sites in the Gaza Strip early Sunday, hours after Palestinian militants fired a missile into southern Israel in a move apparently linked to rising tension in the occupied West Bank, Israel said. The attack came as one of Gaza's larger armed factions, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, threatened to retaliate after Israeli troops killed two of its leaders in the West Bank town of Jenin on Thursday.
'In response to the rocket fired toward Israeli territory, IDF fighter jets targeted overnight (Sunday) a weapons manufacturing site belonging to the Hamas terrorist organisation,' the Israeli military said in a statement.
