New Israeli strikes hit Gaza

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli helicopters struck at Palestinian targets Tuesday in Gaza for the second time in less than a week.

Helicopters firing rockets struck at targets linked to the Palestinian Authority security forces that Israel held responsible for a mortar attack that seriously wounded an infant Israeli boy Tuesday.

"This is a reaction to the brutal attack against a baby and its mother," an Israeli military statement said. "All those responsible will be punished."

Two district headquarters of the Palestinian police forces were among the targets of Tuesday's Israeli raids.
