Israeli war jets struck several sites belonging to the al-Qassam Brigades, armed wing of Hamas, in southern Gaza, said Palestinian security sources.

No injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee also said in a press statement that Israeli war jets targeted Hamas facilities including "military training facility" in southern Gaza.

Hamas should "bear responsibility for the terrorist acts against Israelis," Adraee added.

Israeli public radio reported that around 20 rockets had been launched from Gaza toward Israel since January 15.
