Israel launches strikes on Gaza after attacks - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: Israeli aircraft have struck Hamas security installations in Gaza, killing at least one Palestinian, in further retaliation for attacks along the Egyptian border in which eight Israelis died.

Gaza residents said three compounds controlled by the Hamas group that rules the enclave were hit in the overnight raids.

Medical officials said a 13-year-old boy in a nearby building was killed and 17 people were wounded. There was no immediate word on casualties among armed groups.

Israeli military commanders said six civilians and two soldiers were killed in a series of assaults by gunmen that targeted two buses, a car and an army vehicle on a desert road north of Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat on Thursday.

The military said seven gunmen were killed in southern Israel, including two who blew themselves up in suicide attacks on one of the buses and in a confrontation with soldiers.
