Israeli fighter jets have launched a series of air raids on Gaza strip for second time since a ceasefire ended last month.

According to Palestinian sources, Israeli missiles hit several sites northwest of Gaza City and north of Beit Lahia in besieged territory.

Meanwhile, in a statement, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said the US Secretary Antony Blinken talked with Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and discussed the way to improve Israeli-Palestinian relations in practical ways.
