GAZA: Israeli aircraft hit Hamas military base located in east of Nusseirat refugee camp here on Monday.
“Three bombs were dropped by the air force on a Hamas military base east of Nusseirat refugee camp,” south of Gaza city, a Palestinian security source said.
The planes also made two raids against Hamas lookout posts along the border with Israel, east of Khan Younis, and on a base of Islamic Jihad’s military wing in the north of the strip, the source said.
Israeli tanks along the border fired at several targets.

The Gaza health ministry said that a total of three people were lightly wounded, which reportedly included two people passing-by.
Before dawn the Israeli military alleged that “a projectile fired from the Gaza Strip hit an open area…in southern Israel.” No injuries were reported, it added.
Hamas has observed a de-facto ceasefire with Israel since a 2014 war.
Early in February Israel hit Gaza with tank fire and air strikes that wounded three Palestinians.
