GAZA, Dec. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli aircraft continued its strikes on several Palestinian targets in Gaza Strip early Thursday morning, said Palestinian security sources.  

    The sources said that the Israeli aircraft targeted the house of Amar Al Karmoot, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, damaging the three-story building seriously and wounding one Palestinian.

    But Karmout was not at home at the time of the attack, said the sources.

    A building in southern Gaza town of Rafah sheltering the office of the Al-Ihsan Charity Society, an organization affiliated to the Islamic Jihad (Holy War), was also badly damaged in the airstrike, according to the sources.
