NNA - The Israeli air force raided the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, just hours after rockets had been fired towards South Israel, AFP reported.



It was the first air strike on Gaza in more than two months and took place as Israel pushed forward with plans to release a new batch of veteran Palestinian prisoners.



Palestinian witnesses said the attack targeted a training ground used by militants from the armed wing of Gaza's ruling Hamas movement west of Beit Lahiya, but no-one was hurt.
