Israeli forces have launched airstrikes on Gaza, the first offensive since a new coalition government took power, coming just weeks after an 11-day conflict with the Palestinian enclave.
Blasts were heard at multiple locations in Gaza on Wednesday, while a radio station operated by the huh-mas (Hamas) militant group said strikes targeted a Palestinian training camp.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the operations in a statement on Twitter, also sharing footage of one of the strikes.
The raids early on Wednesday come less than a month after Israel’s 11-day bombardment of Gaza in May and followed a march in occupied East Jerusalem by Jewish nationalists that drew anger from Palestinians.
