The Israeli army carried out three air raids on Hamas-run Gaza on Sunday in response to rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, an army spokesman said.

There were no reports of injuries from the strikes, according to AFP.

 

Two raids hit smuggling tunnels on the enclave's border with Egypt and one targeted a building that allegedly used to store arms in Gaza City, the army said. Earlier, Palestinians fired two rockets into Israel early on Sunday, the army said. There were no injuries.
