Israeli occupation forces aircraft opened fire on the central Gaza Strip early Wednesday, injuring a Palestinian man and causing damage to property, medical officials said.

Medics transferred the unidentified Palestinian to the Shifa Hospital west of Gaza City.

Onlookers said aircraft fired two missiles toward structures near the Al-Shuja'iya area of Gaza City. One of the missiles landed without exploding.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said forces targeted a tunnel in northern Gaza, claiming that the attack was a response to the firing of projectiles toward Israel, she said.

Wednesday's attack came hours after two Palestinians were killed and a third was injured as Israeli occupation forces aircraft fired on central Gaza in an act of aggression against the besieged Palestinian territory.
