**Three Palestinians have been injured in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical workers have said.**The Israeli military said it had hit a “weapons-manufacturing facility” near Gaza City and two smuggling tunnels near Rafah, on the border with Egypt.
The strikes were carried out overnight in response to two rockets fired from Gaza into Israel on Monday, it added.
In a separate incident, the Islamist group, Hamas, said two of its fighters were killed in an accidental explosion.
The Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades members had been carrying a rocket in a neighbourhood to the east of Gaza City when it blew up, it said.
There are unconfirmed reports that four others were injured by the blast. The Israeli military said it had no knowledge of the incident.
Rocket attacks from Gaza have decreased since Israeli forces undertook an offensive against Hamas, which controls the coastal territory, last December and January, but there have been sporadic attacks since then.
The Qassam rockets launched on Monday evening landed in an uninhabited part of the western Negev desert. There were no reports of damage or injury.
The attacks violated an agreement over the weekend by militant factions in Gaza to halt them.
