Israeli aircraft strike Gaza tunnels

The Israeli military says its aircraft have struck smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip.

It says aircraft attacked two tunnels in two separate strikes today. Gazans dig tunnels to smuggle in weapons and other goods under the Gaza-Egypt border.

Gaza health official Moaiya Hassanain said one person was slightly injured.

The last airstrike took place two weeks ago.

Violence around Gaza has subsided sharply since Israel concluded a bruising, three-week offensive in mid-January against militants firing rockets into its territory.

More than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in that war.

One of the aims of that war had been to stop smuggling.
