Israeli aircraft bomb Hamas base in Gaza Strip after militants fired rocket

The Guardian, Saturday 20 December 2014
Israeli aircraft bombed a Hamas militant base in the Gaza Strip on Friday for the first time since the end of a war in the territory.
The bombs struck in the Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip. Local hospital officials said there were no casualties.
The army said the move was in response to a rocket that militants launched earlier in the day, which landed in a field in southern Israel and did not cause casualties.
“The IDF (military) will not permit any attempt to undermine the security and jeopardise the wellbeing of the civilians of Israel. The Hamas terrorist organization is responsible and accountable for today’s attack against Israel,” military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner said in a statement.
