(Ha'aretz) Anshel Pfeffer - The Israel Defense Forces launched a series of air strikes overnight Thursday against targets in Gaza City, Khan Yunis and Rafah in Gaza after Palestinians fired a Kassam rocket that hit southern Israel. Three Palestinians were killed, medics said. The IDF Spokesman's Office said Israel Air Force aircraft bombed a tunnel from Gaza heading toward Israel, a weaponry workshop in Gaza City, and two smuggling tunnels linking Gaza to Egypt. Earlier in the day, Gaza militants fired at least 10 shells into Israel, and fired an anti-tank missile at IDF troops patroling the border with Gaza. On Thursday, the Israel Air Force dropped thousands of leaflets over Gaza, warning residents to stay away from the border with Israel and to avoid involvement in smuggling, Ma'an news agency reported.
