Israeli warplanes have carried out airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, causing damage in residential areas.

The airstrikes which targeted residential areas in north and central Gaza Strip, caused panic among children in the region, a Press TV correspondent reported on Friday.

So far, no casualties have been reported as a result of the attacks that were reminiscent of Israel's three-week-long onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which was launched in late December and continued into the New Year.

Following the airstrikes, Israeli warplanes were still hovering about the strip.

More than 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the 2008-2009 Israeli land, sea and air offensive in the Gaza Strip which also devastated a large part of the infrastructure, inflicting about USD 2 billion in damage on the Gazan economy.
