JERUSALEM

Israel has struck Gaza Thursday night with warplanes and tanks, according to the Israeli army.

The army said it fired on two targets in response to what it said three rocket attacks from Gaza earlier on Thursday.

The Israeli projectiles reportedly landed in an empty field in the Gaza Strip, injuring no one.

This latest report from the region comes after U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

On Wednesday, Trump announced the relocation of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem -- a move which drew numerous negative reactions from Muslim communities around the world.
