GAZA, May 15 (UPI) -- Israeli Apache helicopters fired rockets on two buildings in western and northern Gaza City at predawn Saturday, Palestinian witnesses said.

They said that they heard several explosions, adding that the rockets targeted two media offices, one belonging to the Islamic Jihad and the other to the Islamic Hamas movement.

They said the first building is the office of senior Islamic Jihad leader Mohamed el-Hindi in Gaza, and that the office was hit by three rockets and was destroyed.

A third building for Hamas was targeted in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis. Four were injured in that incident, the witnesses said.

The witnesses said the second office targeted belonged to late Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi.

A local hospital said about 10 were injured.
