Zionist warplanes fire on southern Gaza

Zionist warplanes fired on the southern Gaza Strip late Tuesday night, locals reported and the army confirmed.

There were no immediate reports of injury.

A Zionist military spokeswoman said that the strikes came in retaliation for alleged projectiles launched into the western Negev in recent days.

The airstrikes targeted the Yasser Arafat International Airport in Dahaniya, said BBC correspondent Shadi Al-Kashif. Five missiles struck the facility in total, Agence France-Presse quoted a witness as saying.

Zionist forces last targeted the airport on 3 February. Three Palestinians were wounded in those airstrikes, which also targeted a tunnel along the Gaza-Egypt border.
