Israel pounded Gaza with a series of air strikes on Monday, hours after killing nine Palestinians in an assault on the home of a senior Hamas politician, and in a separate raid on a suspected rocket manufacturing facility.
Israel's cabinet decided on Sunday to ratchet up military measures in Gaza in response to an increase in rocket attacks on Israel in the past week, though stopping short of waging an all out offensive in the coastal territory its troops quit in 2005.
The latest Israeli air strike targeted the Zaitoun neighbourhood, an Islamic stronghold in Gaza City, shortly after an attack late on Sunday killed a man at what Palestinians said was a stone mason's workshop, and Israel called a rocket manufacturing plant.
Palestinian medics said a Hamas member had been shot and wounded from an Israeli aircraft while riding a bicycle early on Monday. The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
In a second strike on Monday, a missile fired from an Israeli attack helicopter knocked out electricity for about 50,000 people in Nozeirat and a nearby refugee camp in central Gaza, witnesses said. There were no casualties.
