Israeli jets strike Islamist Hamas targets in the Gaza strip

Reuters - Israeli jets struck 25 Islamist Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Wednesday (June 20) after militants launched rockets and mortar shells at Israeli territory, the military said. Two Hamas security men were hurt in one air strike in the southern Gaza Strip, residents said. No casualties were reported in Israel after one of the most intense recent barrages of militant rocket launches and Israeli air strikes. Air raid sirens and Israeli phone warning applications sounded throughout the pre-dawn hours. The military counted 30 rockets and mortar shells fired at Israeli territory and said its Iron Dome anti-missile shield intercepted seven rockets.
