(UTV|Palestine) -The Israeli military has carried out air strikes against the militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Gaza and Syria in response to rocket fire.
On Sunday, more than 20 rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel, causing some damage.
Overnight, the Israeli military struck what it called PIJ “terror targets”, including weapons development and training facilities near Damascus.
PIJ said two fighters were killed in Syria and vowed to avenge their deaths.
Gaza’s health ministry reported that four Palestinians were wounded in the territory.
On Monday, the Israeli military carried out further air strikes on PIJ targets in Gaza, after at least 14 rockets were launched from the territory into southern Israel.
