More about:

Israeli fighter planes have bombed tunnels linking the Gaza Strip and Egypt. One woman suffered minor injuries. Israel says the tunnels are used to smuggle weapons.

Earlier, rockets were fired from Gaza targetting Israel. A house in Sderot was damaged in the attack.

Israel launched a major offensive into the Gaza Strip at the end of last year. One of the main targets of the offensive were the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt. Since the offensive, there have been fewer rocket attacks on Israel launched from Gaza although they have not stopped completely.
