GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli warplanes launched a number of air strikes on the Gaza Strip after midnight Saturday causing material damage but no casualties were reported.

Security sources told the PIC reporter that Israeli F-16s fired a missile at a deserted area in Zaitun suburb east of Gaza city causing big material damage to a number of nearby homes and warehouses.

Other warplanes shelled Abu Jarad area south of Gaza city while two missiles were fired at a building still under construction for the Islamic University in the same area, the reporter said, adding that the air strikes also targeted a land lot for Abu Sitta family.

The raids did not inflict any human casualties but in February they killed seven and wounded 46 others including children.
