Israeli warplanes hit Gaza, kill one

GAZA CITY
Israeli warplanes attacked Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, killing one person and wounding eight, the army and medics said on Saturday, a day after a rocket fired from the strip hit a southern Israeli city.
A Hamas member was killed in an airstrike on a caravan near the Magazhi refugee camp in the centre of the Palestinian enclave, a Hamas official said. The Israeli military said the site was "a weapons-manufacturing warehouse."
Late on Friday aircraft fired at least four missiles at buildings used by Hamas security forces in Gaza City, wounding eight people, several of them seriously, said Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services.
The site used to house the offices of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas before his Western-backed Fatah party was ousted from Gaza by the Islamist Hamas in 2007.
Warplanes also hit smuggling tunnels on the border with Egypt without causing casualties, witnesses said.
Fearing further strikes, Hamas ordered the evacuation of all its security offices, a security source told AFP.
The Israeli military routinely responds after rocket attacks from Gaza, and the army said in a statement that it "holds Hamas solely responsible for terror emanating from the Gaza Strip."
The airstrikes came after a rocket fired by Gaza militants on Friday slammed into the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, causing no casualties but some damage, and prompting sharp criticism from the United Nations.
The 122 mm Katyusha-type rocket landed next to a high-rise apartment building, damaging parked cars and shattering windows, the military said.
