**At least 11 people have been injured by Israeli air strikes targeting Gaza’s airport, Palestinian officials say.**The Israeli military confirmed the missile strikes near Rafah, in southern Gaza, which it said targeted militants.
It was the second night of Israeli raids since a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip killed a worker on an Israeli farm on Thursday.
Earlier, the international Middle East Quartet called for Israel to freeze all settlements in Palestinian territories.
In a strongly worded statement, the Quartet condemned Israel’s announcement last week of planning permission for 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel since 1967.
That move undermined efforts to restart indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks.
Fresh tensions
Friday’s missiles hit Gaza’s long disused international airport and tunnels dug by militants near the border with Israel.
On Thursday, Israeli missiles hit smuggling tunnels and a metal workshop in Gaza, but there were no reports of serious injuries.
An Israeli military spokesman said the strikes were a response to five rockets fired at Israel from Gaza in the past two days - including one that killed a farm worker from Thailand in a kibbutz in southern Israel.
He was the first person to be killed by rocket fire in southern Israel since the Israeli campaign in Gaza last year.
Over the same period, 88 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in a mixture of Israeli military operations and border clashes, according to the United Nations.
Rocket fire into Israel has continued since the end of Operation Cast Lead, but there has been less than before the incursion.
The clashes come just before a visit to the region by US envoy George Mitchell, who is seeking to re-launch stalled peace talks.
