Palestinian media reports say several explosions are heard across the Gaza Strip.
The explosions are likely the start of Israeli airstrikes against Hamas following rocket attacks on southern Israel and from a branch of the terror group in Lebanon on northern Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces has yet to confirm it is carrying out airstrikes.
