Israeli warplanes have carried out at least 13 air strikes on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources have told the BBC.
Four of the strikes took place near the town of Khan Younis, where two Israeli soldiers were killed in clashes with Palestinian fighters last week.
The Israeli strikes are the most serious for more than a year, says the BBC's Jon Donnison from Jerusalem.
Three children were reported slightly injured by flying debris.
The director of ambulance and emergency in the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Dr Muawiya Hassanein, said an infant was among the injured.
Witnesses and Hamas officials said the Israeli raids targeted metal workshops , farms, a milk factory and small sites belonging to the military wing of Hamas.
'Retaliation'
Palestinian news agencies reported that Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over parts of Gaza on Thursday warning residents of retaliation for last Friday's killings of the soldiers in Khan Younis.

You are correct. If they can be used to further their aims, they are useful, otherwise they are useless.
Go Bibi, bomb ‘em back into the Stone Age. Okay, further back into the Stone Age.
Obama put them there. If Usrae hits our men,WHO IMHO should not even be there, Obama will try to create a situation where our military will blockade Israel.Thats a step away from war.
Obama is a traitor. He has US Army boots on the ground in the Gaza strip as victims.
Thank you.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that two weapons factories were hit, one in northern Gaza and the other in central Gaza, as were two weapons depots in southern Gaza.
Eventually they'll provoke Iran and it's proxies to the point that Iran will have to retaliate overtly.
This will be the Israeli trigger to take out those damn nukes.
Obama notwithstanding. He won't get a vote on this one.
Yep...Damascus & Tehran should have been hit right off the bat; & if any other Muslim country made any threats, not only should their capital have been hit, the Israelis should have warned that Mecca would have been next!
Excellent news. ....news the BBC and their MSM comrades loathe to report. And usually don't.
AMEN!!! You can’t reason with animals; you destroy them.
The raghead subhumans are supported by the marxist American left.
They have identifiable leaders, who ought to be checking six at all times.
Netanyahu to Obama:
Go pound sand.
Bibi has really let me down in the way he has treated his Muslim enemies. I thought he wasn’t going to take any BS from them, or I thought he had a no-nonsense reputation of being tough. The very survival of his nation is @ stake!
“Three children were reported slightly injured by flying debris.”
That’s great news. If the worst the BBC could find were three slight injuries then Israel has to be carrying the campaign really well.
LOL LOL
Let me get this straight. Obama has put American soldiers on the ground in Palestine to ‘help’ Israel’s enemy and simultaneously encouraged the Palestinians to ‘revolt’ in some ‘Obamaintifada’(according to some press accounts today) knowing full well what Israel would do because it’s what they always do when the Pali terrorists get out of hand.
Thanks for your post. The breadcrumbs of Obama’s evil are leading this entire world to conflict. So much for Hope N Change.
God bless our troops and protect them from the worst and most corrupt CIC EVER!!
Synthetic milk?
Rock the casbah!
