GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli warplanes fired on two sites in in the southern Gaza Strip early Sunday, causing severe damage.
Gaza emergency services spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya said there were no injuries in the raids.
Security officials in Gaza told Ma'an that Israeli jets hit a concrete production site west of Rafah, and an underground tunnel in al-Salam neighborhood east of the city. Both sites sustained severe damage, they said.
An Israeli army statement said the airstrikes hit a "weapon manufacturing site and a smuggling tunnel ... in response to the rockets fired at Israel over the weekend."
An army spokesman said a rocket fired from Gaza landed in southern Israel on Sunday morning after the airstrike, the seventh rocket to hit Israel since Friday. No injuries or damage were reported, he said.
The military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees released statements on Friday and Saturday claiming the launch of projectiles into Israel, saying they were in response to Israel's violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians.
Early Friday, Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza City lightly injuring two Palestinian fighters.
