The Israeli fighter jets targeted underground infrastructure in the southern Gaza Strip on early Monday, Xinhua reported.
The underground infrastructure belongs to the Hamas, said the Israeli Defence Forces in a statement issued on early Monday.
More than ten missiles were fired from Israeli F-16 fighters in the southern Gaza Strip and no casualties was reported, according to sources from the Gaza Strip. The intense cross-border fighting persisted for a third straight day.
Earlier on last Saturday, an explosive device attached to the fence between Israel and the Gaza Strip detonated, wounding four Israeli soldiers, two of who were wounded seriously.
In retaliation, Israel said its fighter jets attacked "18 targets belonging to the Hamas organization" overnight last Saturday.
The assault included airstrikes against a tunnel built by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group that runs Gaza, in the Zaytun neighbourhood in Gaza city; a military compound near Deir el Balah in the central Gaza Strip; and a military compound in the area of Khan Yunis in the southern Strip.
