Israel kills three Gaza gunmen in air strikes
GAZA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Israel killed three Palestinian gunmen in air strikes in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Thursday, said Palestinian militants and hospital officials.
A Hamas cross-border rocket attack killed an Israeli civilian on Wednesday, the first such death in the Jewish state in nine months.
The militants and hospital officials said those killed in Thursday's air strikes were a fighter from the Islamist Hamas movement and two from the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) armed group.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said the air force had mounted an attack on Palestinian gunmen.
