Five people have been injured by Israeli air raids on the Gaza Strip, Palestinian security officials and witnesses say.
The five casualties, including one woman, were injured by shell fragments when an Israeli aircraft fired a missile on a house east of Gaza City late on Monday, the officials and witnesses said.
The house, which was empty at the time, was completely destroyed and three other neighboring houses were damaged.
The Israeli military did not immediately confirm the attack – the second on the Gaza Strip in two days.
Israeli fighter jets struck the southern part of the Gaza Strip in an overnight raid on Sunday, targeting what the Israeli military said was an arms smuggling tunnel.
The aircraft attacked a tunnel on the Rafah sector on the border with Egypt, but no one was injured, witnesses said on Monday.
The raids on the Gaza Strip come in the wake of a visit by Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, to the Hamas-controlled territory.
