Israel has launched several air raids against targets in southern Gaza near the border with Egypt, causing damages but no injuries, Palestinian security sources have said.

The strikes targeted "open areas" near the town of Rafah and tunnels along the border with Egypt, residents said.

An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that the "Israeli air force intervened in the Gaza Strip," late on Friday.

"Our planes attacked four tunnels that were dug under the border with Egypt and used for weapons smuggling," the spokesman told AFP news agency.

"An arms depot was also targeted and the explosives that were stocked there exploded," he said.

The raids came hours after Palestinian fighters fired two rockets at southern Israel without causing damage or victims, according to a military spokesman.

1. If a rocket falls in the desert and no one is injured, did it make an explosion?

"Israel has launched several air raids against targets in southern Gaza near the border with Egypt, causing damages but no injuries, Palestinian security sources have said."

Just noting that a lot of posters have complained that most Hamas rockets didn't cause injuries so no one in Israel should have minded them.

2. I am thankful no one was injured on either side with the latest strikes.

I hope the 'cease-fire' will not deteriorate into broader conflict again.
