Aftermath of car-ramming that injured several Tel Aviv
Israeli forces launched air strikes on the northern part of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning after it said rockets were fired towards Israel from the same area.
It comes as the Israeli military confirmed it had withdrawn troops from a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank, ending an intense two-day operation that killed at least 12 Palestinians and drove thousands of people from their homes.
Witnesses reported seeing convoys of military vehicles leaving the Jenin refugee camp following one of its most extensive operations in two decades.
The Gaza strikes hit a target near Beit Lahiyeh town in the northern part of the strip. News outlet Shehab reported strikes near al-Baydar, west of Gaza City as well.
The attack was a retaliation after Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired five rockets toward Israel, the military said. The Palestinian rockets were intercepted and there were no immediate reports of casualties.
On Tuesday, a suspected Palestinian car-ramming and stabbing attack injured at least eight people in Tel Aviv.
A medical official said the incident appeared to have included at least one stabbing victim, and that a suspected assailant had been “neutralised” by first-responders.
