Israeli warplanes bomb Gaza border area- witnesses

GAZA May 19 (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes bombed an area by the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt on Tuesday, several hours after a rocket fired from the coastal territory struck inside an Israeli town, Palestinian witnesses said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the air strike, which appeared to have targeted tunnels Israel says are used to smuggle weapons into Gaza from neighbouring Egypt.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
