GAZA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Israeli aircraft bombed tunnels on Monday along the Gaza Strip border with Egypt, Hamas officials and witnesses said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the predawn raid against targets in the town of Rafah. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. Israel had frequently attacked tunnels it says are used to smuggle weapons or materials to build weapons into Gaza from Egypt.
