As Israeli aircraft attacked Palestinian fighters in Gaza for a second day, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that such raids would continue until rocket fire from the Palestinian territory stopped. His comments came as one Palestinian was killed and another wounded in an air strike near Rafah. It brought the number of Palestinian militants killed by Israel since Friday to 10. During that period, one Israeli died in a Palestinian rocket attack in the town of Ashkelon. Jon Donnison reports.
The latest Israeli air strikes happened around the southern Gazan town of Rafah. The Israeli military said it was targeting militants preparing to launch rockets across the border. They are believed to have been from a small group called the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The bulk of rocket fire, though, this weekend has come from another group, Islamic Jihad. Hamas, the Islamist movement, which governs in Gaza, has so farrefrained fromfiring although Israel says as the ruling power Hamas will be held responsible for all attacks.
