GAZA, May 4 (Xinhua) -- The armed wing of Islamic Jihad movement al-Quds Brigades threatened on Saturday that it would expand the range of rickets fired into Israel and will target strategic posts and locations.

The group published a 45-second video, showing its masked militants and members of the group's rockets unit fixing long-range rockets that would reach central and northern Israel.

The video also showed pictures of strategic places and their names in both Arabic and Hebrew, including Dimona nuclear reactor, Ashdod Seaport, Ben-Gurion Airport, and Haifa oil refineries.

On Saturday, one Palestinian was killed and seven wounded in a new wave of tension between Israel and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Islamic Hamas movement.

Israeli Radio reported that the Israeli army air forces warplanes struck by missiles more than 25 posts and military facilities in the Gaza Strip that belong to Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants.

The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip was a response to firing more than 150 rockets and projectiles from the coastal enclave into Israel.
