Israeli warplanes struck multiple militant targets in the Gaza Strip early on Thursday in response to Palestinian rocket fire, but nobody was injured according to Palestinian security sources.

They said that the raids hit three training bases of the Ezzedine al-Qassam brigades, the military wing of Hamas, in Gaza City and a fourth in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

An Israeli military statement spoke only of three hits in total and did not give their location or identify the targets.

"Yesterday, June 3 2015, two rockets were launched at southern Israel from the Gaza Strip," it said, adding that they fell on open ground near the southern city of Ashkelon and the town of Netivot. "No injuries were reported."

"In response to this attack, the Israel Defence Forces struck three terror infrastructures in the Gaza Strip," it said.

Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon blamed the territory's de facto rulers Hamas for the rocket fire.
