Israel launched surprise air strikes Saturday against Hamas targets in the Gaza strip in response to rocket barrages launched by the Palestinian terrorist organization.

Mark Regev, international spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, told reporters that Israel was worried about the threat posed by Hezbollah on Israel’s northern frontier.
