Israel bombed two smuggling tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border early Wednesday, killing one person and wounding another in the southern Gaza Strip border town of Rafah, Gaza emergency services chief Mo'aweya Hassanein told reporters in Gaza City. An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said the tunnels hit were used for smuggling weapons into the strip.
He said the strike was retaliation for a Palestinian rocket attack into southern Israeli territory Tuesday that caused no injuries.
