One dead in Israeli air strike on Gaza

RAFAH (AFP) - One Palestinian was killed and five others wounded on Sunday in an Israeli air strike that targeted a motorbike in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources told AFP. “One citizen was killed and five others, including two children, were wounded by an Israeli aircraft that fired on a motorbike in the Brazil neighbourhood in Rafah,” a medical source at Rafah hospital told AFP. Eyewitnesses said the man killed was a member of the Popular Resistance Committees militant group, but there was no immediate confirmation from the organisation.
