Israeli tanks and military aviation carried out strikes in Lebanon, Gaza after rocket attack

Israel's military says it has struck targets linked to Palestinian militant group Hamas inside Lebanon and across the Gaza Strip.

The attacks come after a major rocket barrage on Israel from Lebanon, which the Israelis blamed on Hamas.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Hamas' "terrorist" infrastructure was hit in southern Lebanon.

On Friday its tanks and military aviation carried out strikes on positions of the Palestinian militant group Hamas along the border with the Gaza Strip.

Tensions are high after Israeli police raided Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque on consecutive nights earlier this week.

Israeli media called the bombardment the most serious escalation since 2006.
