| GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories — The Israeli air force bombed a suspected smuggling tunnel on the Gaza-Egypt border on Wednesday in response to rocket attacks, the military said. No casualties were reported. “The site was targeted in response to the recent rocket fire from the Gaza Strip,” a military statement said, referring to Grad rockets and mortar rounds fired from Gaza on Monday night, one of which exploded near a wedding in southern Israel, although nobody was injured. Witnesses in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah said there were no casualties in the Israel air raid. “Since the beginning of 2011, over 30 Grad missiles, Qassam rockets and mortar shells have landed in Israeli territory,” the military said, adding that it regarded Gaza’s Hamas rulers as responsible for all fire from the territory. |
