At least 11 people have been injured in an Israeli air strike at an airport in southern Gaza, Palestinian medical officials and witnesses said. The strike targeted Gaza's defunct international airport, located near the town of Rafah, late on Friday, witnesses said. The Israeli army told Al Jazeera that the attack targeted "a terror site" and said its pilots confirmed that the target was hit. It also confirmed that it hit two smuggling tunnels and a weapons manufacturing site in another strike 24 hours earlier. Al Jazeera's Casey Kauffman, reporting from Gaza, said Israel called the strike a reaction to rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel a day earlier. "It's the second night of attacks in the Gaza Strip," he said.
