Israel bombards Gaza Strip, shoots down rocket
Israel bombarded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip with about 300 airstrikes Saturday and shot down a Palestinian rocket fired at Tel Aviv, the military said, widening a blistering assault to include the Hamas prime minister's headquarters, a police compound and a vast network of smuggling tunnels.
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel on Wednesday, causing no damage or injuries, an Israeli police source told AFP.
