Israel launches air strikes on Gaza after rocket fire

Israel‘s military has said it was carrying out air strikes “throughout the Gaza Strip” following a barrage of rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave towards its territory.

The announcement on Monday came shortly after rocket fire from the besieged Palestinian enclave hit an Israeli bus. At least one person was injured in the attack, the AFP news agency said.

A number of rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, various news agencies said.

The incident came as thousands of Palestinians took part in protests following the killing of seven Palestinians by Israeli forces in Gaza on Sunday evening.

Al Jazeera is awaiting further details.
