Israeli warplanes fired on a Gaza City neighborhood early Friday, lightly injuring two Palestinian fighters

Israeli warplanes fired on a Gaza City neighborhood early Friday, lightly injuring two Palestinian fighters.

The airstrike on the Zeitoun neighborhood injured two fighters who were evacuated to hospital, emergency services' spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya said according to Ma’an news agency. Their identities and affiliations were not immediately identified.

An Israeli army statement said the warplanes hit "two terror activity sites in the northern Gaza Strip...in response to the rockets fired at Israel."

Three rockets fired from Gaza landed in southern occupied territories on Thursday evening, and two projectiles early Friday, without causing injuries or damage.

The armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility in a statement issued on Friday.

The Nasser Salah al-Din brigades said the fire was in response to Israel's violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds, and Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians.
