The Gaza Strip was targeted once again by Israeli aerial bombardment on Wednesday morning. Three locations including the Bureijj refugee camp were reportedly hit in the attack, which left Gaza City without power.
A gaping hole was left in a two-story building that had supposedly been used by Fatah members in Gaza City, according to Haaretz. Missiles were also fired at a building used by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine faction in Bureij. Another strike targeted a road in Beit Hanoun which, according to the Israeli military, was used to launch rockets into Israeli territory.
No injuries were reported in the attacks, though several ambulances rushed to the scene, according to eye witnesses.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army continued its raids in the West Bank on Wednesday, arresting 24 Palestinians in the towns of Hebron and Ramallah. Wednesday's arrests brings the total number of Palestinians detained by Israel in recent days to more than 400.
Israeli military officials told reporters that in response to ongoing rocket attacks on southern Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip, it would continue its recent campaign of airstrikes and arrest raids.
