Israel bombs Gaza after Khader Adnan's death
Israeli warplanes launch air strikes, targeting besieged Palestinian enclave.
Israeli warplanes have carried out air strikes targeting areas in besieged Gaza, Israeli army and witnessed in Gaza said.
The strikes late on Tuesday come after rocket barrages were launched following the death of a Palestinian hunger striker in the Israeli custody earlier on Tuesday.
Khader Adnan, who was affiliated with Palestine's Islamic Jihad group, died in an Israeli prison after an 87-day hunger strike.
Hamas, which governs Haza, said Israeli planes hit two locations in main Gaza city.
The Israeli fighter jets shelled, with several missiles, sites of armed factions in Gaza City and central areas of the strip, according to witnesses and an Anadolu Agency correspondent.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has not provided any information on whether there are any casualties.
Dozens of rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians, leaving them running to bomb shelters, Israeli army said, adding "this has been the reality for many in Israel today."
Palestinian groups in Gaza and Israel exchanged fire shortly after the death of Adnan.
