Airstrike wounds three militants in northern Gaza

An Israeli aircraft launched two missiles at a group of Palestinian militants gathered in the northern Gaza Strip today, wounding three of them, Palestinian security and health officials said.

The airstrike on members of the militant Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades occurred near the town of Jebaliya, according to witnesses.

The strike was the latest in a wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting Palestinian militant leaders and militants trying to fire rockets from Gaza into Israel.
