"Israel" air strike hits north Gaza

Source: BBC, 7-5-2007
An "Israeli" aircraft has fired rockets at a car carrying Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip, injuring one person.
"Israel`s" army said the strike near Beit Hanoun targeted militants preparing to launch rockets into "Israel".
It follows a warning by "Israeli" PM Ehud Olmert that "Israel" would take action if Palestinian militants continued firing rockets into "Israel" from Gaza.
Earlier a rocket landed near a nursery in southern "Israel". No-one was hurt.
The Qassam rocket landed in the town of Sderot, a frequent target by militants.
Islamic Jihad said it carried out the attack. Three of the group`s members were killed on Friday in a raid by "Israeli" troops in the West Bank.
`Bystander hurt`
On Monday, an "Israeli" army spokesman confirmed "an air raid in northern Gaza that targeted a vehicle that was carrying arms and was on its way to launch rockets".
The army said one militant was injured.
Islamic Jihad said two of its members were in the car and were going to carry out a "jihadi mission".
But the militant group said it was a bystander who was hurt in the air strike, contradicting the "Israeli" claim.
Eyewitnesses said two men jumped out of the car before it exploded.
Overnight, the "Israeli" army said it had detained six suspected Palestinian militants across the West Bank.
The "Israeli" army says a total of 11 rockets have been fired from Gaza since Friday.
