Gaza strikes kill Hamas militants

[Englander]

Five Hamas militants have died in a series of Israeli strikes in southern Gaza, Palestinian officials said.

An Israeli raid early on Wednesday killed one militant and hurt three near the town of Khan Younis, they said.

A 16-year-old boy was also killed when Israeli forces launched a limited incursion close to the town.

Hours earlier, four Hamas militants were killed in Israeli air strikes on vehicles in Rafah town. At least 20 bystanders were hurt in those attacks.

Israeli forces have been carrying out raids and air strikes on Gaza after the capture of an Israeli soldier in June.

Over 200 Palestinians have since been killed by Israeli action.
