The Times of Israel reports: The Israeli military struck the Gaza Strip early Monday, hours after a rocket was shot into southern Israel as intense cross-border fighting persisted for a third straight day.

The army said it attacked “underground infrastructure” in the southern Gaza Strip, likely referring to a tunnel dug by the Hamas terror group and others in the Palestinian enclave. The military did not say if the strikes were from tank shelling or airstrikes.

The Palestinian Safa news site reported that heavy damage was caused by 10 airstrikes, but no injuries were reported. Palestinians in the Strip reported hearing explosions near agricultural areas outside Rafah in the south of the Strip on social media.
