Israel launched retaliatory air strikes on the Gaza Strip on Thursday hours after its top soldier warned troops to be prepared for possible "wider action" on the enclave's volatile border. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the strikes were aimed at three separate targets, two of which Gaza militants confirmed were sites they used for training. No casualties were reported.
The air strikes were launched overnight after a mortar fired by Gaza militants wounded an Israeli man at a farm. "The situation on the Gaza Strip border is fragile these days," Israeli armed forces chief General Gaby Ashekenazi told troops based near the Gaza border, according to the Maariv daily.
