'New deadly Israeli strikes' hit Gaza Palestinian killed in Gaza air strike
(about 7 hours later)
Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed one civilian and wounded at least 10 others, Palestinian say. One civilian has been killed and at least 13 others have been wounded after an Israeli air strike on a militant base in Gaza, Palestinian medics say.
They say the strikes hit buildings near a training centre for the armed wing of Hamas near Gaza City. The injured include children, according to meds. Missiles fired by Israeli aircraft early on Friday reportedly hit a Hamas training facility in Gaza City, sending shrapnel flying into nearby houses.
The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, saying they were in response to rocket fire against Israel. The Israeli military confirmed it had carried out an air strike in the area.
The raid followed an earlier strike in Gaza City on Thursday, in which two Palestinians were killed. Gaza-based militants had earlier fired rockets into Israel after another air strike that killed two militants.
They were reportedly in a car near a crowded park when their vehicle was struck by a missile. Hamas, which governs the coastal territory, accused Israel of an "unjustified escalation against Gaza" and urged Egypt to intervene.
Israeli and Palestinian sources say one of the men was a member of the military wing of the Fatah movement; the other was his nephew, who belonged to Hamas. A spokesman for the group, Fawzi Barhoum, told the Associated Press that the violence was designed to "test the response of the Arab world... to a future war against Gaza and the Palestinians in general".
Earlier this week a member of the militant group, Islamic Jihad, was killed in an air strike on Gaza. The Israeli military said it would continue to operate against those who would attack Israel.
Israel said he had been planning to fire rockets into its territory. It had earlier said the two militants killed when missiles hit a car on a crowded street in Gaza City had been planning an attack on Israeli civilians and soldiers along Israel's border with Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
The burst of violence this weeks comes after a period of relative calm along the volatile border between Israel and Hamas-run Gaza. Palestinian sources say one of those killed was a member of the military wing of the Fatah movement; the other was his nephew, a member of Hamas.
A health official in Gaza City, Adham Abu Salmia, told AP that Friday's air strike had set several houses on fire and sprayed several with shrapnel.
The destruction of one house left a 42-year-old man dead and injured seven members of his family, including his father, wife and five of his children, he said.
