STORYLINE
Israeli aircraft attacked two buildings in the Gaza Strip early on Friday, wounding at least nine people, Palestinian officials said.
The first airstrike targeted the home of a suspected local militant leader in the northern town of Jabaliya.
Relatives of Salim Thabet, an activist of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, said the Israeli army told him to evacuate his home about 15 minutes before the airstrike.
Hospital officials said five people in a nearby house were moderately wounded.
The second airstrike hit a two-storey home in Gaza City, setting the structure on fire and causing heavy damage.
Several nearby homes were damaged, and four people were moderately wounded, officials said.
Security officials said one missile fired at the home didn't explode, and a bomb squad was called in to dismantle it.
The Israeli army said both airstrikes had targeted weapons-storage facilities, and that it warned occupants to leave the areas before the attacks.
