The attack comes after Israel said several dozen shells were fired into its territory on Tuesday – one exploding near a school.

Israeli jets have bombed militants in the Gaza Strip after the country’s army said 25 mortar shells were fired into its territory – the biggest such attack for years.

“Most of the launches were intercepted by the IDF’s (Israel Defence Forces) Iron Dome aerial defence system,” said an Israeli military spokesman.

One shell exploded near a pre-school before the children had started for the day.

Sirens sounded at villages and towns near the border as the shells came in, but there were no reports of injuries.
