IAF strikes weapon warehouses, militant HQ in Gaza; no injuries

By Haaretz Service and Reuters

The Israel Air Force attacked several buildings Wednesday night hours after a woman was killed and two other people seriously wounded in multiple Qassam strikes on the western Negev town of Sderot.

A helicopter fired two missiles into the house of a Palestinian militant in a Gaza Strip refugee camp. Neighbors said the occupant, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, was not in the building at the time and there were no reports of casualties.

A Hamas headquarters and an arms storage facility in the town of Jebalya were attacked from the air, and similar facilities of the Islamic Jihad militant group were bombed in Rafah and Jebalya.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed all these airstrikes.

Palestinian security sources said several militants in Gaza received warnings from the IDF to evacuate their homes, signaling that more air strikes could be imminent.

Sixteen Qassam rockets rained down on the western Negev over the course of Wednesday. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned in response that the IDF operation in Gaza would continue "without end... to fight this murderous terror."

Also Wednesday night, IDF troops arrested 19 wanted Palestinian militants across the West Bank.
