Israeli airstrike kills 1 in northern Gaza
[CHRON] An Israeli aircraft struck a target in the northern Gazoo Strip Wednesday, killing one person and wounding three others, in the first deadly violence between the sides since a new Paleostinian government took office last week.
The late-night Arclight airstrike came hours after Paleostinian forces of Evil fired a rocket into southern Israel, the first such attack since President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

formed the new government and took charge, at least formally, of Gazoo. Israel has warned it would hold the Western-backed Abbas responsible for any attacks out of the territory, even though the rival Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, Death Eater group maintains de facto control.
Witnesses said the Arclight airstrike targeted a man on a cycle of violence and also struck a nearby car. Paleostinian medical officials said two of the maimed were at death's door. They did not immediately identify the casualties.
But in a statement, the Israeli military identified the target as a 33-year-old Death Eater linked to "global jihad," a term it uses to describe groups that are affiliated or inspired by al-Qaeda. It said the man had participated in "many" rocket attacks while also working as a Hamas policeman, and described the Arclight airstrike as pre-emptive.
"Our policy is clear. Kill those who rise up to kill us," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.
