Israeli warplanes carry out strike in Gaza

GAZA, June 22 (KUNA) -- Israeli airplanes launched two rockets early on Wednesday towards eastern sectors of the town of Deir Al-Balah in the center of Gaza Strip.
The rockets fell adjacent to one of Deir Al-Balah cemeteries, causing a deep crater in the ground, with no casualties, local radios reported.
Israeli Army said this attack targeted a tunnel, dug by Palestinian militants close to the borders with Israel, allowing them to infiltrate to Israel.
Radio Israel quoted a spokesman of the army as saying that this raid came in response to a Palestinian missile attack, last night, targeting Negev desert in southern Israel.
The rocket harmlessly crashed into the compound of a local government authority building in the town of Eshkol. (end) mzt.lb KUNA 221029 Jun 11NNNN
