Israeli air strike kills 6 suspected militants
 AN ISRAELI missile strike killed six Palestinian militants at a training camp in Gaza, medics said, hours after two Palestinian gunmen died in a similar raid that Israel said was aimed at rocket launchers. The Israeli military confirmed it had targeted a camp used by militants affiliated with President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah group. Palestinian witnesses said the Abu el-Reesh Brigades, an armed wing of Fatah, had used the camp to train their militants.Medics said the strike killed six people. Witnesses saw three bodies being brought to a hospital morgue, while two more Palestinians were treated for injuries sustained in the blast. Earlier in the day, an Israeli air strike killed two gunmen of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, also part of Fatah. Israel has in recent weeks pounded Gaza with missile strikes and artillery shelling against what it says are militants involved in rocket attacks against the Jewish state, which have increased in recent weeks.
