Three people were injured, including one critically, overnight Tuesday as Israeli warplanes bombed Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian security and medical sources said.

A security source told AFP that Israeli warplanes had struck two bases belonging to Hamas’ military wing in northern Gaza, causing significant damage.

A medical official at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said three people were being treated for injuries, including a 26-year-old man who was in critical condition after being struck in the head with shrapnel.

The Israeli army confirmed the strikes, saying they were in retaliation for a rocket fired a few hours earlier from Gaza, which landed in the occupied territories’ south.
