Palestinian Killed, 10 Hurt in Israeli Air Raids: Doctors

Gaza City, Palestinian Territories - Three Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip killed one Palestinian and wounded at least 10 others, medical sources said Friday. The house of a Palestinian family was hit in the east of Gaza City, near a training centre of Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, killing a grandfather and wounding seven children, several of them seriously. The two other overnight strikes also targeted training centres of the brigades, the medics said on condition of anonymity. An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed that two raids had taken place but said they were in response to rocket fire against Israeli territory Thursday night. She said the strikes "targeted centres of terrorist activity" in the Gaza Strip. Earlier Thursday two Gaza militants were killed in an Israeli strike, according to Palestinian medics. Israel said that one of them had planned a deadly bombing in Eilat in 2007. (*)
