The Israeli bombings were reportedly aimed at the residences of three senior Islamic Jihad group commanders.
Last week, Israeli missiles shelled the Gaza Strip following the firing of rockets into Israel over the death of Islamic Jihad leader Jader Adnan. He had been on hunger strike for more than 80 days in Israeli custody.
On the occasion, Hashel Mubarak al-Swerki, a 58-year-old father of 11 children, died after being seriously wounded in the Israeli attack northwest of Gaza City. Five other people were also wounded by Israeli missiles east of Beit Hanoun in the north of the strip.
