Israel launched three back-to-back air strikes in the southern and central Gaza Strip on Tuesday afternoon, killing at least six Palestinian gunmen, medical officials said. Four of the dead were militants of the al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the radical Islamic Jihad faction, whose car took a direct hit from an Israeli missile as it was moving down a Khan Younis street, witnesses said.
Two more Palestinian militants, one of them also of the Islamic Jihad, were killed and at least two others wounded in a second and third airstrike on a car and a group of gunmen in the area of nearby town of Deir el-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, Gaza emergency services chief Mo'aweya Hassanein said.
