Israeli aircraft struck in
Gaza on Wednesday hours after rockets from the Palestinian enclave triggered sirens that forced Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu off the stage at an
election rally in Israel.
The
Israeli military said 15 targets were hit, including a weapons manufacturing facility, a naval compound used by militants and tunnels belonging to Hamas, the dominant armed force in Gaza.
Hours earlier, bodyguards rushed Netanyahu to shelter in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod when the sirens sounded during a Tuesday evening rally, a week ahead of a general election.
