  • Story Text: Explosions were heard in central and northern Gaza early on Saturday (February 11) morning in what Palestinian security sources and witnesses said were Israeli missile strikes on roads believed to be used by militants.
    The sources said an Israeli plane fired two missiles at a road in central Gaza, missing a passing car carrying militants. The missiles left large holes in the road.
    Missiles also struck two roads in northern Gaza, security sources and witnesses said.
    There were no immediate reports of casualties in either strike.
    The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the explosions.
    The Israeli army has frequently carried such raids in order to cut roads used by militants to transfer rockets to launching sites.
