GAZA, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Israeli fighters carried out two successive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Monday in response to earlier rocket firing from the coastal enclave into Israel, and no casualties were reported.

Security officials in the Hamas-ruled enclave said one of the airstrikes targeted a post belonging to Hamas naval police in northern Gaza and the other one targeted a training post that belongs to Hamas armed wing in central Gaza.

The officials said that huge explosions were heard right after Israeli helicopters and aircrafts hovered over the enclave, adding that after the two airstrikes, there were no reports on Palestinian casualties or damages.

Here we go again batten down the hatches.I just wish that these two sides could just sit down and thrash out some kind of lasting agreement once and for all. Nobody is winning this battle after decades of misery on both sides. Come on!
