Gaza City, July 2 (RHC)-- Israel said its fighter jets targeted a weapons manufacturing site in the Gaza Strip overnight on Friday in the latest attack since a ceasefire ended May’s attacks.  Security sources with Hamas said the raids hit training sites and no casualties were reported.

The Israeli army spokesperson claimed that the air raid came in response to the launching of incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip towards the surrounding Israeli settlements.

It was the third time Israel has broken the cease fire, carrying out air attacks in Gaza.  Israeli attacks in May killed at least 256 Palestinians, including 66 children, according to Gazan authorities.
