| 2010-06-29 | |
| An Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip on Monday killed at least one Palestinian militant and wounded two other people, medical workers said. An Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said a military aircraft had "targeted a Palestinian who fired a rocket-propelled grenade at soldiers" that struck inside Israel. There were also reports of a mortar bomb fired from Gaza at Israel, causing no injuries. "A direct hit was identified" in the attack, the army spokeswoman said. There were no reported casualties from the grenade attack that prompted the air raid, although the army reported that one of their vehicles was damaged. Palestinian medics said the latest strike struck near the Jebalya refugee camp in northern Gaza, and that the man killed was active with the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a militant group. One of the two men wounded was in a serious condition, the medics said.
