Gaza City (AFP) Nov 6, 2010 Israeli warplanes launched two raids on the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, Palestinians said, wounding one person hours after militants in the enclave fired a rocket into southern Israel. Officials of the Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza and witnesses said one air raid was on the Khan Yunis area and the second targeted tunnels at Rafah used by smugglers under the territory's border with Egypt. One Palestinian was wounded in his home by shards of broken glass from a blast in the second raid, the sources said. The air strikes came after Gaza-based militants fired a rocket into southern Israel earlier on Saturday, without causing either casualties or damage. The projectile exploded in an open field near the Gaza border, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. An Israeli army spokeswoman told AFP that the two attacks had been launched in response to the rocket fire. Around 180 rockets and mortar shells had been fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel since the beginning of the year, she said.
