Israeli Air Force Bombs Gaza Tunnels

18/08/2010 Palestinian sources reported that Israel carried out airstrikes in Gaza Tuesday, after two occupation soldiers were injured by mortars that exploded near the border fence earlier in the day.

Air-to-ground missiles struck several targets in central and southern Gaza, but no injuries were reported.

Israeli occupation army Spokesperson's office confirmed that Israeli F16s targeted a smuggling tunnel in the town of Rafah under the border between southern Gaza Strip and Egypt. The tunnel was reportedly destroyed.

The planes also hit an empty building east of the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis.

On Tuesday morning two Israeli occupation soldiers were wounded by mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip, which landed in the Eshkol region in the western Negev.

The area had also witnessed clashes between Islamic resistance fighters and Israeli occupation soldiers, during which one resistance fighter was martyred and an Israeli soldier was injured Monday evening.
