Israel Fires On 29 'Terror Sites' After Rockets From Gaza Hit Populated Areas -- CNN
(CNN) -- Israel responded with heavy fire after five rockets from Gaza landed Wednesday in populated areas of southern Israel, marking "the most substantial attack" in two years against the country, the Israeli military said.
The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, called the Al-Quds Brigade, claimed responsibility for firing dozens of missiles on what it called "Israeli settlements."
In response, Israel launched airstrikes on three areas in Gaza -- Rafah, Khan Younis and Jabalia -- that are believed to belong to Islamic Jihad, according to security sources in Gaza. A Hamas spokesman texted CNN to say they counted six airstrikes, but claimed they were against bases that were empty.
In all, the Israeli military targeted "29 terror sites" in Gaza, the military said on its Twitter page.
"Direct hits were confirmed," the military tweeted.
