The Israeli Air Force hit the Gaza Strip early Sunday, June 7, 2015 for the second time in three days after new rocket fire from the territory hit southern Israel, the military said. It was the third time Israel had staged retaliatory air strikes in Gaza in the past fortnight, with each raid following rocket fire on the Israeli south, raising fears of a new confrontation with Palestinian militants. The Israeli government also ordered the closure until further notice of the Erez crossing for people and the Kerem Shalom crossing for goods, adding that only medical cases and humanitarian aid would be allowed through. Palestinian security sources and witnesses said the air force targeted a training site belonging to Hamas’s armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, in the northern Beit Lahiya area.
