At least 12 Palestinians were wounded Tuesday evening in an Israel Air Force strike on the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli and Palestinian sources said.
Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Hamza said the four members of his militant group were near a mosque when they were targeted by an IAF aircraft. The militants were wounded in the strike, one of them seriously.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the air strike, saying the men had been involved in rocket attacks on southern Israel. It said one of the men personally fired the rocket that severed the leg of 9-year-old Sderot boy Osher Twito last month.
On early Saturday, an IAF strike in Gaza killed three other Islamic Jihad militants which, according to the Shin Bet security service, were involved in the rocket attack that wounded Twito.
