The airstrikes targeted Palestine Tower in downtown Gaza city and other sites belonging to Islamic Jihad movement, Ashraf Al-Qodwah told the local Al-Aqsa radio station.
According to Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), Tayseer Jabari, a senior Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, was killed in the attacks.
