Israel conducts airstrike on Hamas in Gaza
The Israeli military forces have conducted the first airstrikes on targets in Gaza Strip after the August ceasefire agreement, the BBC Israel reports.
Residents of the Khan Yunis area in Gaza reported hearing two explosions, the Associated Press news agency said.

The attack was carried out on a Hamas infrastructure site in response to a rocket, fired from Gaza several hours earlier, a statement from the Israeli defense reads.

No casualties were reported as a result of the attack.

On July 7, Israel launched Operation Protective Edge against Hamas`s military infrastructure in Gaza. Over 50 days of hostilities, 2,100 Palestinians and 73 Israelis lost their lives.

Israel and Palestine agreed on an open-ended ceasefire, brokered by the Egyptian government, on August 26.
