An Israeli air strike on southern Gaza on Wednesday killed a “global jihad” militant who put together a deadly ambush on Israel’s border with Egypt, the military said.
The strike, which targeted a man on a motorbike in the southern city of Rafah, came as the violence in and around Gaza entered its third day.
So far, seven Palestinians have been killed and another six wounded in Israeli air strikes, while militants have fired more than 60 rockets at Israel, one of which scored a direct hit on a border police outpost, wounding four.
