 "Israeli aircraft bomb Gaza strip after Hamas' rocket attack, Intifada claim")
Israel aircraft attacked Hamas military facilities in the Gaza Strip this night in response to rocket attacks, the Israeli army said.
It was the second night of rocket fire since US President Donald Trump's statement on Wednesday recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
His declaration sent shock waves through the region, and Gaza's Islamist Hamas rulers called for a new intifada, or Palestinian uprising.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said that 14 people were wounded, suffering what it described as light to moderate injuries.
Gaza security officials said the targets were in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said earlier that its Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted a rocket fired from the Palestinian enclave.
Security sources and eyewitnesses said the Israeli war jets struck with two missiles a military post that belongs to Hamas militants in northern Gaza, adding that several people were injured, Xinhua news agency reported.
