GAZA, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Israeli army aircrafts at Thursday night destroyed two homes owned by families of Palestinian militants involved in carrying out attacks on Israel, Palestinian security sources and eyewitnesses said.

    The sources said that one house, which belongs to a Hamas militant, was destroyed by air-to-ground rocket in Habalia refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported, but the house was badly damaged.

    Meanwhile, another airstrike destroyed a second house in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, which belongs to the family of another militant. But no injuries were reported.

    The sources said that the owners of the houses were notified on telephone by the Israeli army that they should vacate their homes because Israeli aircrafts would destroy them just half an hour before targeting the houses.

    On Wednesday, five more houses belong to militants' families were destroyed by airstrikes, after a deadly homemade rocket fired by Palestinian militants from northern Gaza Strip at the southern Israeli town of Sderot.

    One Israeli woman was killed and one of the bodyguards of Israeli defense Minister Amir Peretz was seriously wounded in the attack on the home town of Peretz.

    In responds to the killing, Peretz vowed to target heads of militant groups involved in launching homemade rockets from Gaza Strip at Israel.
