An Israeli air strike killed one Palestinian and wounded two others, including a child, in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, Palestinian medical sources said. <\/p>\nAn Israeli air strike killed one Palestinian and wounded two others, including a child, in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, Palestinian medical sources said. <\/p>\n
The attack, one of several on the coastal strip over the course of the day, targeted an unidentified man driving a motorcycle in the northern town of Jabaliya, they said.<\/p>\n
The Israeli army confirmed an attack, but gave no details.<\/p>\n
Following the fatal strike, the air force also hit a training camp in Gaza City of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the strip, Palestinian sources said. <\/p>\n
No casualties were reported.
Earlier on Saturday, the air force hit three targets in Gaza, hours after a rocket fired from the territory exploded near a house in southern Israel, sources on both sides said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAircraft targeted a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip, and two terror activity sites in the central Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed,\u201d a statement from the Israeli military said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sites were targeted in response to the rocket fire towards southern Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Palestinian security officials said there were no casualties from the strikes, one of which hit an unmanned training camp of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the ruling Hamas movement, south of Gaza City.<\/p>\n
They said the other two hit open ground near the Nusseirat and Al-Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza, possibly used as rocket launch sites.<\/p>\n
On Friday night, Gaza militants fired a Grad rocket that exploded in the yard of a residential building in the southern Israeli town of Netivot.<\/p>\n
One person was taken for medical treatment suffering from shock, and the building was damaged by the rocket.<\/p>\n
The Mujahedeen Shura Council, a Salafist group, issued a statement saying it fired the rocket on Netivot.<\/p>\n
There has been a flurry of tit-for-tat violence on the Gaza-Israel border in recent days.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Israeli warplanes raided a training camp of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, several hours after Gaza militants fired two rockets into southern Israel.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday the Israeli air force struck targets in northern Gaza, also without causing casualties. The strikes came after rocket fire that was also claimed by the Mujahedeen Shura Council.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week, the armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched a barrage of fire at southern Israel a day after warplanes raided the southern city of Rafah, targeting two men the military said were global jihad activists.<\/p>\n
The two were critically wounded and one later died. Another eight people were wounded, among them five children.<\/p>\n
Monday\u2019s rocket fire by Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants marked a rare show of force given that the two groups normally observe a de facto truce on rocket fire on Israel.<\/p>\n
The last time Hamas militants fired on Israel was during a flareup in June when militant groups fired more than 150 rockets, wounding five people, and Israel hit back with air strikes that killed 15 Palestinians.<\/p>\n
According to the Israeli military, more than 480 rockets or mortar rounds have been fired at southern Israel from Gaza this year.<\/p>\n
