Witnesses said the strikes hit a multi-storey building and that tanks also opened fire shortly afterwards. Palestinian medical sources said there were no casualties and that a group of people inside the building were able to escape.
Israeli helicopters “struck a building in the central Gaza Strip where suspected militants were hiding,” a military spokesman told AFP.
“It was a building housing armed militants who were suspected of targeting forces and planting an explosive device,” the spokesman said, without providing additional details.
