Israeli air strikes hit Gaza after deadly rocket
Israeli aircraft hit three targets in the Gaza Strip early Friday but there were no reports of injuries, Palestinian security officials and eyewitnesses said.
The strikes came a few hours after rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israel, killing a farmworker.
The planes struck a workshop in Gaza City, smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border and an open field, witnesses and security offcials said.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
The strikes came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He proposed unspecified “confidence-building measures” that could be carried out by Israel and the Palestinians as part of efforts to renew peacemaking efforts between the sides.
