GAZA CITY, Jan 2: Three Palestinian militants were killed late on Monday when an Israeli aircraft fired missiles at their car in the Jabaliya refugee camp of the northern Gaza Strip, security sources said.

Palestinian medical sources said two men had died in the strike while the third was in a critical condition.

Witnesses said the car’s passengers were members of the militant group Islamic Jihad, which has claimed a series of attacks on Israel over the past month including a suicide bombing which cost the lives of five Israelis.—AFP
