An "Israeli" aircraft attacked a training camp used by Palestinian militants in Gaza City on Friday, killing five Palestinians, including four relatives of a top commander, Palestinian officials said.
Missiles struck meters away from the home of Moumtaz Dourghmush, the top militant commander in the Popular Resistance Committees. Dourghmush was not at the scene, but a brother and three cousins were among the dead, hospital officials said.
The army confirmed it had targeted the PRC. "The army will continue to track down those who support and are involved in (so-called) `terror` attacks," it said.
In the West Bank, a 19-year-old Palestinian man was killed during a stone-throwing demonstration against "Israeli" troops, Palestinian medical workers said.
In further confrontations, witnesses and medics said five members of the Al-Aqsa Brigades were wounded in exchanges of fire with "Israeli" soldiers in the Balata refugee camp.
Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians demonstrated in the Gaza Strip and West Bank Friday in support of their Hamas-led government, which has been crushed by a Western boycott, aid cuts and a serious fiscal crisis.
Protesters gathered in Gaza City and Ramallah after Friday prayers to express support for the government following an appeal from a pro-Hamas group under the slogan "better hungry than humiliated."
Amid a sea of green flags in Gaza, more than 10,000 demonstrators shouted: "Death, death to the United States."
"We tell the West: We stand with our government and we won`t abandon it," Hamas Parliament speaker Aziz al-Dweik told the rally in Ramallah. "Our government must stand tall and not make concessions."
During the gathering, militants from Hamas sidled through the crowd, green bandanas wrapped around their heads, collecting donations on behalf of the cash-strapped government.
