Israeli air force strikes Gaza. "GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli aircraft shelled several Islamic Jihad sites in Gaza on Monday morning in response to rocket fire. A Ma'an reporter said several F16 aircraft shelled four sites belonging to the military wing of Islamic Jihad, Saraya al-Quds, in Rafah.*Shelling was also reported in empty areas near the Asda city in Khan Younis and in the Deir al-Balah district, including the al-Zawayda village.*Tunnels were also targeted along the Rafah border, with no injuries reported.*Israel also shut down all crossings into Gaza, Palestinian Authority liaison official Raed Fattouh said.*Fattouh said he was told the closure was for "security reasons."A source said Israel would only be allowing humanitarian cases through the passenger crossing Erez in northern Gaza.*The army also said Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories would be closing Kerem Shalom cargo crossing "until further notice," but did not provide further details on the passenger crossing.*Speaking to public radio on Monday morning, head of the parliamentary foreign and defense committee Avigdor Lieberman said Israel should consider reoccupying the Gaza Strip and "cleansing" it.The rocket fire followed the announcement Sunday that Islamic Jihad was temporarily suspending ties with Hamas, accusing Gaza authorities of being responsible for the death of one of the group's members.Raed Qassim Jundeyeih, a member of Islamic Jihad's militant wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, died on Sunday after being shot a day earlier by Hamas police officers." Israel air force strikes Gaza | Maan News Agency. I do not know if there were injuries to civilians in these strikes or damage tk civilian objects. I have read all the crossings between Israel and Gaza have now been closed, here in this article and elsewhere, meaning no humanitarian aid is being allowed to enter Gaza and its 1.7 million inhabitants Sherri
