Israeli Gaza strike 'kills one' Israel strike kills militant in northern Gaza Strip
(about 4 hours later)
An Israeli air strike has killed one Palestinian and wounded at least two other people in Gaza, according to local doctors. An Israeli air strike has killed a militant leader in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say.
The strike targeted a motorcycle on a busy street in the northern town on Jabaliya on Saturday evening, in response to a rocket fired into Israel the day before. They say Hisham al-Saedni, the leader of a jihadist Salafist group, was killed as he rode a motorcycle in the town of Jabaliya on Saturday.
Palestinian doctors told the BBC that a child was among the wounded. Gaza medics say a second militant was also killed in the strike and another person injured.
Israel said it had targeted two "terror operatives". The air strike was in response to a rocket fired into southern Israel the day before.
A statement from the Israel Defence Forces said: "IAF aircraft targeted a terror activity site in the northern Gaza Strip, and two terror activity sites in the central Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed. Saedini, who is believed to be 43, headed the Mujahedeen Shura Council group, reports say.
"The sites were targeted in response to the rocket fire towards southern Israel." In a statement, the Israeli Defence Force said its strike - one of four carried on Saturday - had targeted two "terror operatives".
On Friday, a rocket apparently fired by the Mujahideen Shura Council, a Salafi Islamist group in Gaza, landed in the courtyard of a residential building. No one was injured.
