- Story Text:Mid-air explosions over the Gaza skyline on Wednesday (May 10), signalled Israel's Iron Dome aerial defence system had intercepted rockets fired across the border by Palestinian militants.
Multiple smoke trails could be seen ascending after multiple rockets were launched.
Israel's air force said it had hit Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza for a second day running on Wednesday, including rocket launch sites belonging to the group.
At least one man was killed and one wounded in the Israeli action, Palestinian medical officials said. Their identities were not immediately clear.
Minutes after the Israeli strikes, sirens were sounded in the southern city of Sderot and the area surrounding the Gaza Strip as well as in the city of Ashkelon, 14 km (8.5 miles) away, warning of incoming rockets.
