Israel continues Gaza killings
From Al-Jazeera…
At least seven Palestinians have been killed as Israel carried out four more air strikes in the Gaza Strip.
In the latest attack two Palestinian fighters were killed in a strike on a minibus near a Gaza City post manned by Hamas on Friday, according to witnesses and medical sources.
Five other people were wounded in the raid on the Nasser district of northern Gaza City close to a position of the Executive Force, a paramilitary group under the control of Hamas, the sources said.
Earlier one man died and several were hurt when Israeli helicopter gunships fired on them after they had launched a rocket into Israel, a Palestinian hospital official said.
