Israeli aircraft on Sunday bombed an empty police station in central Gaza and tunnels along the Hamas-ruled enclave's southern border with Egypt, witnesses said.
There were no reports of casualties in the strikes on the police station and the tunnels, used for importing weapons and goods from Egypt into the Gaza Strip where Israel enforces a punishing blockade.<>
An Israeli security official said "the air force has carried out several strikes across the Gaza Strip," which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.
The action came hours after a warning from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to deal a "disproportionate" blow to Hamas in response to renewed rocket fire against southern Israel since the end of its 22-day offensive in Gaza.
Israel -- which goes to the polls on February 10 -- has been hit by several rockets since a January 18 ceasefire brought an end to the war in which more than 1,300 Palestinians were killed.
Palestinian militants in Gaza fired more than 10 rockets and mortar rounds into southern Israel on Sunday, wounding one civilian and two soldiers, an army spokesman told AFP (dar)
