GAZA CITY: Three Palestinians were injured when Israeli warplanes raided two smuggling tunnels and a Hamas training camp in the southern Gaza Strip early Thursday, witnesses and official sources said.  Israeli F-16s carried out two airstrikes on the tunnels near the Gaza-Egypt border. Witnesses said that three missiles were fired in the same attack against one tunnel located west of Rafah city, destroying it completely. Medical sources later said that three tunnel workers were injured. Israeli warplanes also bombed a training camp of Al-Qassam Brigades. The raid caused severe damage to the location. No injuries were reported. Israeli security sources said that the raids came after militants fired a missile into Western Negev area late Wednesday.
