Israeli hit by Hamas rocket; Israel kills 2 militants
Hamas militants in Gaza seriously wounded an Israeli in a rocket attack and an Israeli helicopter airstrike killed two Hamas militants in the northern Gaza Strip as violence escalated on Sunday. The Israeli was hit as he walked near a school in the town of Sderot, close to the Gaza border, a hospital official said.Hours later, an Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile at Hamas militants in the northern Gaza Strip, killing two and wounding three, Palestinian medics said. The Israeli military said it launched the strike after the militants fired a rocket at Israel. The killing of the Hamas militants was the first by Israel since the ruling Islamist group ended a 16-month truce on Friday after seven Palestinians were killed in a Gaza beach attack that Hamas blamed on the Jewish state.
