The planes targeted and destroyed early on Saturday a four-story building that was still under construction in the center of Gaza City. Several buildings in its vicinity were also damaged in the attack, said the correspondent.
The Israeli army claimed dozens of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel prompting the airstrikes.
The Palestinian factions, on the other hand, said the rocket attack came after Israeli soldiers shot and killed four Palestinian civilians who were among thousands of protesters gathering at the Gaza border fence with Israel and hundreds were injured.
The rockets did not cause any injury or serious damage but triggered Israel’s Iron Dome to intercept and destroy some of them before landing.
