- Story Text: Israeli air strikes on Gaza killed one boy and wounded several people, many of them children on Thursday (August 19), hours after Israel blamed gunmen from the territory for cross-border attacks.
Earlier an Israeli air strike killed the leader of an armed Palestinian faction, a top lieutenant and three other members in the southern Gaza Strip, the group said.
The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a faction that often operates independently from Gaza's Islamist Hamas rulers, identified their dead leader as Kamal al-Nairab and said their military chief, Immad Hammad, had also been killed.
A sixth fatality in the attack on Rafah town was a nine-year-old boy who had been in the same house as the militants, local Palestinians said.
Hours earlier, gunmen killed seven people in a triple attack in southern Israel. Israel said the gunmen had come from Gaza through neighbouring Egypt, a charge denied by Hamas. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
