The Israeli military bombed sites in Gaza and militants fired rockets from Gaza into Israel on Friday as tensions remained high a day after one of the worst terrorist attacks on Israelis in recent years.
A rocket that hit the Israeli port city of Ashdod injured six people, including one who suffered serious wounds, the Israeli medical services said. It was one of 14 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel on Friday, the Israeli military said.
Also Friday, Israeli jets bombed a group of militants in Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, injuring one, and hit a militant training field, Palestinian security sources said. An airstrike north of Gaza City killed a boy in a home and injured five early Friday, Palestinian medical officials said. Three other people were injured in a strike on a Hamas government compound south of the city, they said.
The Israeli military said it hit two weapons manufacturing sites in central Gaza and "terror activity" sites in northern and southern Gaza. Israeli forces also fired on a militant as he prepared to fire a rocket in northern Gaza; the military said the militant fled.
The attacks come a day after assailants killed seven Israelis in a string of attacks on buses, civilian vehicles and soldiers in southern Israel on Thursday.
Israeli police said an eighth Israeli, a special operations officer, was killed late Thursday in fighting with Sinai border infiltrators. (more)
