The Israeli military says it has carried out airstrikes in the Gaza Strip after new rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory, AP reports. The airstrikes overnight targeted a Hamas training compound in northern Gaza, the military said on Monday. Three buildings and other infrastructure were hit, it added. Gaza militants have stepped up rocket fire on Israel since US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on December 6.
