An Israeli raid targeted Friday Hamas installations in the south of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Khan Younis area.
This attack has not made a victim.
Israel said they responded to a shooting Palestinian rocket, which occurred earlier in the day.
"The Palestinian response is hostile, and it is an extremely unfriendly move toward Israel. This is not a step towards peace, it is a step toward war, "said the Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz.
Also Friday, two Palestinians were slightly injured during clashes with Israeli soldiers.
This occurred around Nablus in the West Bank. About 500 people gathered in tribute to the Palestinian minister Ziad Abu Ein, who died on December 10 during a protest against an illegal Israeli outpost in the West Bank.
The Israeli air raid and comes amid high tensions, and while the issue of Israeli settlements is also debate abroad.
On Thursday, a draft resolution was tabled in the UN Security Council. It aims to find a peace agreement with Israel within a year and get the Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied Territories before the end of 2017.
"This is a good step to end the occupation under very complicated security situation and the barbaric acts of the (Israeli) occupation against the Palestinians and, God willing we will find a solution to end the Palestinian affair, "said Assem Araura, a resident of Ramallah.
For now, Israel is categorically opposed to the draft resolution, believing that any agreement must go through bilateral negotiations.
