The Israeli military attacked what it said was a Hamas military site in the Gaza Strip early Saturday in response to a pair of rocket attacks overnight, hours after U.S. President Joe Biden flew from Israel to Saudi Arabia on a Middle East trip.

The Israeli military said its fighter jets struck hit two facilities belonging to Hamas, the Islamist terrorist group that governs the blockaded strip. One of the targets was an underground rocket-manufacturing plant, the military said.
