GAZA: Israeli warplanes have bombed two homes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, causing dozens of casualties, Al Jazeera reports citing Palestinian Wafa news agency.

A drone strike on Salah al-Din Street to the east of the city, meanwhile, killed at least one person and injured others, Wafa reported.

Elsewhere in Gaza City, Israeli artillery shelling struck the neighbourhoods of Shujayea, Sabra, Tal al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ijlin, said Wafa, without providing casualty figures.

Israeli warplanes have struck a Syrian military position overnight in response to rocket fire on the Israel-occupied Golan Heights, AFP quotes the military as saying.

The cross-border fire came days after an air strike blamed on Israel destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing senior military commanders and raising regional tensions.

The Israeli military said that “warplanes attacked Syrian army military infrastructure overnight in the Mahajjah area” — around 30 kilometres from the demilitarised zone separating the opposing forces.

The Israeli army said it identified a rocket launch from Syrian territory on Monday that caused no casualties. It said artillery struck the source of the fire.
