GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip: "Israeli" aircraft struck on Friday a car carrying Palestinian militants north of Gaza City Friday, injuring no one.
A witness who would only give his name as Mohammed said he saw a car stop suddenly and the passengers jump out just before the vehicle exploded. The blast was apparently caused by a missile, Mohammed said.
Hamas security officials told Hamas TV that "Israel" had launched an air strike. Medics said they evacuated no injuries.
A spokesman for the Islamic Jihad militant group, Abu Hamza, said the car was hit by a missile and was carrying a field commander of the group. The two passengers escaped unharmed, Abu Hamza said.
The "Israeli" army confirmed it launched an airstrike, claiming it targeted rocket launchers.
"Israel's" air force carries out frequent air strikes against Palestinians it suspects of involvement in firing rockets at "Israel". The crude projectiles land in southern "Israel", only occasionally inflicting casualties, but wreak panic among the public.
