Israel Launches Up to 50 Airstrikes in Gaza Strip
-------------------------------------------------

This comes as Israel has carried out up to 50 airstrikes in the
Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip. Palestinian officials say at least four
people have been wounded in the airstrikes, including a 17-year-old boy.
Officials also say a water tower was damaged. Israel says the strikes
were a retaliation for a rocket launched into Israel over the weekend.
