The full caption stated: "Palestinians inspected the wreckage of a disused airport on Wednesday after an overnight Israeli airstrike in Rafah, a town in the southern Gaza Strip. No one was wounded, emergency services officials said. A second overnight Israeli airstrike, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, left two people seriously wounded, according to Palestinian medical officials." Full release.
