Israeli strikes kill six in Gaza | |
(30 minutes later) | |
At least six Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes in southern Gaza, reports say. | |
Islamic Jihad said a missile struck a car carrying five of its members near Khan Younis. A sixth man died in a separate strike. | |
Israel confirmed two attacks on "vehicles carrying terror operatives" and one on a person without a vehicle. | |
Correspondents say the strikes could derail talks between Israel and Hamas militants who control the Gaza Strip. | |
A Hamas source had said earlier that a deal to end hostilities and partially reopen Gaza's borders could happen this week. | |
A second stage of the plan would focus on the return of a captured Israeli soldier and on a deal to reopen the main Rafah crossing into Egypt. | |
Reports said a number of other people were hurt in the Israeli air strikes. |
