The attack came just after Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana in Sderot. | |
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army said it had carried out the air strike on the Jabaliya refugee camp that killed the militants. | |
Israel had threatened to step up raids on militants accused of firing rockets into Israel. | |
On Sunday, at least eight people died in an Israeli air strike said to be on the home of Khalil al-Hayya, a lawmaker from the Palestinian militant group Hamas. He was not there at the time. | |
