GAZA, June 13: An Israeli missile strike killed a Hamas militant and wounded 23 other Palestinians in Gaza City on Friday as the Zionist state promised a “war to the bitter end” against the radical group, despite US calls for restraint.

Witnesses said at least two helicopter rockets slammed into a car carrying Fuad al Lidawi in Gaza’s Sabra district, within sight of the home of Hamas spiritual head Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

In the West Bank, Palestinians killed an unidentified Israeli in the city of Jenin on Friday, witnesses said.
