GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces launched renewed airstrikes on the Gaza Strip overnight Sunday, injuring one person, medics said.

A dairy factory in a Gaza City neighborhood was hit in the third day of airstrikes on the coastal enclave. One man sustained moderate wounds, medics said.

Another airstrike targeted an open area east of Gaza City, witnesses said. No injuries were reported.

Israel's army said it had "targeted a weapon manufacturing facility and a terror tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip," in response to rocket fire on communities in southern Israel, a statement said.

Meanwhile, a militant died on Monday after sustaining injuries in a previous airstrike.

Suraqah Rashad Qudeih, 18, was injured when Israel targeted an auto rickshaw east of Khan Younis on Friday, the An-Nasser Salah Ad-Din Brigades, the PRC's armed wing, said.

Four people were wounded at the time, and another man, Naji Qudeih, 34, also later died from his injuries.

Overnight Saturday, Israel launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip which injured 7 people.

The attacks were in response to the death of an Israeli soldier on Friday, the army added in a press statement.

A Palestinian gunman had breached the southern Gaza border and opened fire on Israeli soldiers, who returned fire, the army said. A soldier and the Palestinian were killed.

This is usual. Whenever an Israeli soldier gets killed, Israel throws a tantrum. Bombs and shoots things until the requisite number of victims have been killed or the US tells her to knock it off. Really, it would be simpler and cheaper just to hold a lottery. Some formula decides how many Palestinians have to die, and the unlucky numbers report for liquidation. This is how the Germans handled it.

The Israeli formula decides how many Militants, Miltants rocket fatcory, and Miltants weapons smuggling tunnels must be harmed, to reduce both militant desire and abilities for future strikes !!!

Gaza Miltants renewed rocket strikes on Israel last week, killing a soldier,
so Israel renewed airstrikes, from which a Miltant died on Monday, but remember before the Gaza strikes there were NO Israeli strikes, and the Gaza strikes on Militants is an Israeli right until peace is agreed upon !!!

Miltants must be made to realize that calm is better than this,
so they will stop renewing the fighting at every opportunity,
which only gives Israel justification to retaliate and blockade !!!

Israel should respond to palestinian terror much stronger - for every attempt to attack from Gaza they need to level transformer substation or bridge or something else in Gaza. This way Gazans will see result of their terror activity very soon.

1 ) Colin Wright / USA - It sounds like you have stumbled upon the formula to stop this - don't kill an Israeli soldier.
