Gaza: Israeli warplanes bombed an open area in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, shortly after militants fired a rocket at Israel, said the witnesses and the Islamic movement Hamas.

An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the attack, saying it had targeted a weapons production site, in response to the rocket fire at Israel.

There were no immediate reports of any injuries from the attack.

According to the witnesses the attacks have damaged a metal foundry in the town of Rafah, along the Gaza Strip border with Egypt.

The air strike was at least the second time Israel has bombed Gaza since a January 18 halt to a 22-day offensive.
