JERUSALEM (AFP) -- An Israeli airstrike killed a Palestinian in Gaza on Wednesday after new rocket fire from the territory prompted Israel's premier to warn he holds President Mahmoud Abbas responsible.
Two Palestinians were also wounded in the evening raid in the northern Gaza Strip, the emergency services said.
The dead man and one of the wounded were traveling on a motorbike and were the apparent targets. A young boy, who was passing by on foot, was also wounded.
Ashraf al-Qidra, spokesman for Gaza's health ministry, identified the victim as Muhammad Ahmad al-Arour, 30.
The An-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, said that al-Arour was affiliated to the group.
The Israeli military said it had targeted "terrorists affiliated to the international jihad," its designation for Al-Qaeda inspired groups in Gaza. more
