The Israeli military said the attacks targeted a rocket manufacturing facility and a military post for Hamas
Israel’s military said early on January 2 that it launched strikes against militant targets in the Gaza Strip, a day after rockets were fired from the Hamas-ruled territory.
Video filmed in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, showed three huge explosions and fighter jets could be heard flying overhead. There was no immediate confirmation on possible casualties.
The Israeli military said the attacks targeted a rocket manufacturing facility and a military post for Hamas. It also blamed the militant Islamic group for any violence emanating from the territory it controls.

Trump faces four criminal cases, including one in Wash. for alleged election interference.
