TEL AVIV: On Friday, The Israeli military said it had carried out strikes in Gaza in response to earlier rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave. The Israel Defense Forces said on Twitter "We have just started striking terror sites in Gaza,". The strikes have significantly damaged positions of the military wing of Hamas, which governs Gaza, and their ally Islamic Jihad, a Gaza security source told AFP. However, no injuries have been reported so far.
It is to be noted that the attack comes just hours after the army said two rockets were launched towards the greater Tel Aviv district Thursday night. Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad denied responsibility for the rocket fire. Tel Aviv has placed ground-level LED light strips, which turn red and green, at a central crosswalk, hoping to catch the attention of pedestrians so engrossed in the mobile devices that they don`t look up before stepping into the road. Similar trials have been carried out in Singapore, Australia and Germany.

However, Tomer Dror, head of Tel Aviv`s traffic management division, said walkers have been noticing the light strips, which began operating several days ago. But Alex Shneider, a 32-year-old biologist who crossed the intersection on the green while looking at his phone, said he never saw the signal.
