Israel is reported to have bombed a number of targets in the Gaza Strip in response to a rocket attack on the southern town of Sderot.At least four people are said to have been injured in the air strikes on Tuesday, two of whom are thought to be civilians.The Israeli military has confirmed air raids took place and were aimed at four border tunnels and two sites in Gaza City where weapons were allegedly produced, in response to rocket and mortar fire over the border.The attacks came shortly after Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with US president Barack Obama when he was urged to halt Israeli settlement activity and back a two-state solution with the Palestinians.Israel claims the border tunnels are being used by the militant group Hamas to smuggle weapons into Gaza.
