Child Hurt as Israel Launches Two Air Raids on Gaza

Israel on Monday launched two airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, which left a Palestinian child wounded.

"Israeli warplanes targeted two terrorist sites in the center and south of the strip," an Israeli military statement said.

Witnesses and security sources in the Palestinian territory said the strikes hit an Islamic Jihad training camp at Khan Yunis and a Hamas one at Nuseirat.

One child was slightly injured in Nuseirat, medical sources said.

Earlier on Monday, Gaza militants fired two rockets that hit an area close to the ranch where former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon was laid to rest, an Israeli military spokeswoman said.

The Israeli raids came in retaliation for the shelling from Gaza.
