Israeli forces have launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, according to reports, the first offensive since a new coalition government took power, coming just weeks after an 11-day conflict with the Palestinian enclave.
Blasts were heard at multiple locations in Gaza around 1:00am local time on Wednesday, Reuters and AFP reported, while a radio station operated by the Hamas militant group said strikes targeted a Palestinian training camp. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) did not confirm the operations and has not commented on the reports.
