At least eight people have been injured as Israeli war planes launched several airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip at around midnight on Wednesday, Palestinian medical sources said. 

Israeli fighter jets fired several rockets at a medicine factory and triggered a huge blaze. The structure suffered serious damage in the blitz. Firefighters were mobilized to the site in order to put out the fire. Palestinian medical workers carried the wounded to a nearby hospital.

Israeli aircraft also targeted a metal workshop in northern Gaza Strip and a field in the southern part on the same day.
