According to Quds Press, two air-to-ground missiles targeted a group of resistance fighters east of Azzeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza city without any reported injuries.
Another air raid was soon waged on an area east of Khan Younis leading to the injury of a Palestinian citizen.
An Israeli attack helicopter, which was spotted flying low in Gaza, bombed a Palestinian car inside a house in Azzeitoun neighborhood near the auto market and destroyed it.
The missile attack wounded a civilian who was passing by the house.
A similar attack bombed a room near a marine police center northwest of Gaza city without reported casualties.
