Israeli planes hit Gaza

Israeli warplanes have struck 29 targets in the Gaza Strip in response to a rocket barrage from Gaza into Israel, the military has said. Palestinians said missiles hit bases of Gaza's Hamas rulers and the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, which had fired the rockets. Four more rockets were fired at Israel on Thursday, Israel said. There are no reports of casualties on either side. Militants fired some 60 rockets into Israel since Wednesday, officials say. An Israeli military spokesman said eight hit populated urban civilian areas. The military said several rockets had been intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system, according to BBC.
