GAZA CITY: Israeli warplanes struck two buildings used by Hamas security south of Gaza City but caused no casualties, Hamas officials and eyewitnesses said early Wednesday.
The facilities, housing offices of the Hamas National Security Service, were hit around midnight, they said.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
The strikes came hours after Israeli aircraft killed a militant of the Islamic Jihad and wounded another man, in the southern town of Khan Yunis.
Tensions have been rising in recent weeks with militants firing dozens of rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel and the Israelis responding with air strikes.
In the most recent incident a rocket fired from Gaza hit open ground in the Negev desert, causing no casulaties or damage.
Several rockets, however, have hit populated areas, causing injuries and property damage.
