Ambulance outside hospital STORYLINE Israel carried out a series of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip late on Tuesday, killing a Palestinian militant, and wounding a Hamas officer and several others. Israel said it targeted militants before they could carry out an attack on the border between Israel and Egypt. A Gaza Health Ministry official said the militant was killed and another two injured in the explosion when a rocket hit his motorcycle on Tuesday evening. The Islamic Jihad, a violent Palestinian group that frequently fires rockets and mortars at Israel, said the he was a former member. The Israeli military said in a statement it targeted a "terror squad," without elaborating. Another airstrike hit a Hamas police vehicle later on Tuesday, injuring one Hamas officer and four others in the car, the Gaza health official said. Such Israeli air attacks have been relatively rare since the end of a three-week Israeli war against Gaza militants three years ago. In recent weeks, the militant Islamic Hamas and its West Bank rival, Fatah, have reported progress in efforts to end their rift and reunite the Palestinian government. Israel has warned that it would not deal with any Palestinian government that includes Hamas representatives.
