GAZA CITY -The Zionist regime`s political and military leaders pledged Sunday to keep up military aggression in Gaza.
"Israeli" Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said there was more to come and the army will continue operating in the Gaza Strip.
"I said a week ago that our operations in Gaza will continue and I`ll say it again`` he said during the weekly cabinet meeting.
The military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, has also recommended in recent days that the army broaden the scope of its offensive action in the Gaza Strip, the occupation regime`s Haaretz daily disclosed on Sunday.
According to defense (war) officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, he favors more intensive military activity in Gaza, but stopping short of a full-scale invasion.
"Ashkenazi has instructed Southern Command to prepare to mount incursions all across the Strip. These are not aimed at laying ambushes, but constitute broader penetrations into the Palestinian Authority`s territory." Haaretz wrote.
"Israel" carried three airstrikes over Gaza City early Sunday, one day after tank incursions into the city and subsequent fighting with Palestinian national guards.
A Palestinian source said two airstrikes occurred around midnight, the first targeting the home or office of Mohammed al-Hindi, an Islamic Jihad leader, in western Gaza City; the second striking a dairy warehouse in northern Gaza City.
A third targeted a workshop in Gaza City`s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood a bit later, the Palestinian source said.
The airstrikes apparently used air-to-ground rockets.
The sources said that the first target hit was an office belonging to Islamic Jihad in western Gaza City. One Palestinian was moderately wounded, and the building was destroyed.
"Israel" has been pounding Gaza since May 16, when after a six-month ceasefire it resumed raids.
