Israel Bombs Gaza Strip After Two Rockets Fired Toward Tel Aviv
---------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli warplanes dropped bombs across the Gaza Strip overnight, hours
after Palestinians fired rockets toward Tel Aviv for the first time
since 2014. No one was injured by the Palestinian rocket fire, while
news agencies in Gaza said the Israeli strikes injured four Palestinians
including a woman who had her hand amputated. Israel's military said it
had targeted 100 "Hamas military targets", though Hamas and two other
Palestinian groups-Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance
Committees-all denied responsibility. Israel's military now says it
believes Hamas members fired two missiles "by mistake" as they performed
maintenance on the rockets.
