The military wing of the Hamas terror group says its members are firing missiles at Israeli aircraft over the Gaza Strip amid strikes being carried out in response to earlier rocket attacks.

The shoulder-launched missiles are not thought to pose a threat to Israeli fighter jets, although they have set off incoming rocket siren alarms in southern Israel in the past.
