Father, daughter hurt in Israeli raid

A Palestinian father and his daughter were wounded in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City early yesterday, Palestinian medics said. Their home was hit in a raid that apparently targeted a neighbouring building in the Zeitun neighbourhood. The strike followed days of rising tensions between Gaza-based militants and the Jewish state, with groups in the coastal territory lobbing a barrage of rockets into southern Israel and the Israeli military launching a series of air raids. In a statement, the Israeli military confirmed an early morning air strike which it said “targeted a weapon manufacturing site in the northern Gaza Strip.”
