Israel bombs house in Gaza used by Hamas

Gaza, Aug 2: Israeli aircraft today bombed a house in central Gaza used by Hamas militants to store weapons, the army said.

Palestinian security sources said the house was owned by a Hamas militant and was largely destroyed.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the air strike.

The Israeli army has killed 154 Palestinians, more than half of them civilians, in Gaza since it began an offensive to stop gunmen from firing rockets into Israel and to pressure militants to free a soldier that armed groups captured on June 25.

An air strike in northern Gaza on Tuesday killed a Palestinian teenager and a woman.
